Webers Holland
Shop
Webers Holland started in 1995 as a shop dedicated to the unique collections of Dutch fashion designer Désirée Webers. It’s located in the 300 year old monument Klein Trippenhuis on the edge of the red-light district in the old center of Amsterdam. Webers Holland has become world-famous because of it’s original mix of styles: avant-garde fashion next to fetish, gothic, lingerie, club and party wear. That’s why it attracts a great variety of people: strippers, artists, dancers, next to students, tourists and housewives. And many more.
Désirée Webers
Désirée Webers designs in almost every material available: from leather, pvc, neoprene and fur to lycra, mesh and lace. Her style is always sexy and body-conscious, humorous and full of technical and functional innovations. She considers clothing in the first place as means of (non-verbal) communication. And isn’t sex and eroticism the most basic human drive we want to share with others? Preferably not in a cheap and seedy way, but original and stylish, with fun and humour. No wonder trendsetters and party people from all over the world love her designs. She always remained an independent designer, never sold out to the mainstream and mass-market. All her designs are produced by herself in her own studio, just around the corner of the shop. She only produces small scale limited editions which come out many times a year. Available at Webers Holland and a small selection of shops in Holland and abroad.
