Why the modern gentleman and businessman feels at home at Loostermans
In a time of overconsumption and fast fashion, the modern businessman and gentleman is looking for sustainable craftsmanship. Not run-of-the-mill products that are ready for the trash after one use, but well-considered products that last a long time and make life more pleasant. He does not see his wardrobe as a collection of trend-sensitive scraps of fabric, but as an extension of his unique character. Each piece of clothing as a reflection of his values and an expression of his refined taste! At Loostermans we are more than happy to support this vision with a carefully composed collection of products from European soil that represent true craftsmanship.
Why craftsmanship is important
True craftsmanship is a tradition that is passed down from generation to generation. European craftsmen who develop the most sophisticated products with years of experience, dedication and passion. With an eye for detail and quality.
“Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort.” –John Ruskin
For the modern businessman and gentleman, investing in handmade items and craftsmanship means investing in products that are made to last. Products that you bond with and that tell a story of the many adventures you have experienced together. A story that can be passed on to the next generation so that your precious possessions can become heirlooms full of memories.
Think of a leather bag from Ruitertassen - a Dutch company that has been making the most beautiful handmade bags from superior leather since 1925 - that will develop its own unique patina through use and that is designed to accompany you for a lifetime. Or a handmade umbrella from James Ince - a family business from the UK that has been making sustainable umbrellas for over 215 years.
Made in Europe - a sign of superior quality
“Made in Europe” is more than just a label, it is a sign of superior quality. Europe has a rich history in fashion and craftsmanship and in creating something exceptional. Items from European soil are prized for their precision, style and elegance. From Belgian hats and French perfumes to Italian shoes .
“A gentleman never goes out of style.” - Anonymously
At Loostermans, every item is carefully selected to ensure it meets the highest standards. We choose family businesses and small workshops that uphold traditions and guarantee that every item is as unique as the gentleman who wears it. Products with a unique brand story such as that of Pig & Hen , where every accessory is handmade and refers to the Dutch maritime tradition. Or that of Huff & Puff , where the search for a stylish handkerchief with character has led to the creation of the most refined handkerchief line with true pocket square allure.
A gentleman's touch
For the modern businessman and gentleman, the right look is of great importance. It is not just about looking good, but also about radiating confidence, professionalism and sophistication. Wearing items that are made with the necessary care and precision provides that unique gentleman's touch. When you walk into a room with an outfit that fits like a glove or a watch that is proof of your good taste, you leave a lasting impression.
“Buy less, choose well, make it last.” – Vivienne Westwood
All our products are designed with the modern gentleman in mind. They combine timeless style with contemporary functionality. With the timeless quality of a garment from The Goodpeople or an accessory from Sir Redman, you are always 'dressed for success', whether you are going to a meeting or a dinner with friends. With the latter, be sure to pick up your aluminium card holder from Ögon when paying to end your evening in style.
At Loostermans we believe in the power of craftsmanship and the quality of products from European soil. For the modern gentleman and businessman, these are more than products, they are symbols of a meaningful life, good taste and an investment in quality and tradition.
