CREATE / MAKE / WEAR / REPAIR / CARE
Van der Vlies & Koers believe that true sustainability begins with a deeper appreciation of what we wear.
Each piece is thoughtfully designed and crafted with an uncompromising respect for exceptional materials, traditional techniques, time and craftsmanship. Created in small collections, every design reflects a considered approach to fashion — where quality and artistry take precedence over the fleeting nature of trends.
Our garments are made to be lived in, worn and cherished. To be repaired rather than replaced. To evolve with the wearer and retain their character and allure over time.
Because we believe that sustainable fashion begins behind the sewing machine — with a love for the craft, an eye for detail, and the intention to create pieces that can be worn with effortless flair, season after season, year after year.

History
The store “van der vlies & koers” was a pioneer in the Witte de Withkwartier.
In 1999 started as a fashion store under the name Studio/Galerie DVDV.
In 2000 it became NO (NieuweOntwerpers.nl), a foundation. An initiative of designers Van der Vlies and Koers. For thirteen years they promoted young new started designers and sold these collections. This was a household name nationally, as they were the first in the Netherlands with this unique concept.
After 11 years, time for a change. The store was provided with a new concept, 14 owners/designers united in a foundation, under the name concept|NO|store. Unfortunately, the entrepreneurial spirit of the individual designers did not materialize and after 2 years this concept was stopped.
In March 2013, the designers, Dick van der Vlies and Henk Koers, took over the store under the name “van der vlies & koers”. They design, produce, present and sell their own collections:
