ABOUT BANLIEUE

BANLIEUE is a lifestyle brand founded in 2014. We create quality garments that are true to our roots, to the neighbourhoods we call home, and to the essence that represents the banlieues. Our style is raw and authentic; we stand with and for the community, to create memories that last a lifetime.

It originated as a school project, in which one of the owners designed a T-shirt and started selling it on Instagram. The T-shirt quickly gained popularity, with requests coming in from all over the country.

In 2017, BANLIEUE outgrew the living room and we opened our first store at Zaagmolendrift 4. Exactly one year later, in April 2019, the first flagship store opened on number 53. All on the same street.

What we do

We exist to change the misconceptions of good and bad, finding value and beauty where others saw nothing. We exist to inspire and create a world where dreams grow from the streets to become reality through shared culture, teamwork and entrepreneurship.

As a brand that challenges the norm, BANLIEUE sets out to make a mark in the fashion industry, building a legacy alongside its community that will be carried on into the future and beyond. Driven by our purpose and values, our ambition is to do well by doing right.
