Mercer

Mercer — Sustainable sneakers and high-end fashion in Brussels | Appart17

It all began at the age of 10, in a shop on Mercer Street in New York: a pair of sneakers that would change young Pim Dresen's life. Years later, this passionate Dutchman founded The Mercer Brand in Amsterdam, with a simple yet radical conviction — to create footwear and clothing that make no compromises between style, conscience, and craftsmanship. Mercer Brussels is exactly that: fashion that has something to say.

The Mercer universe

Since 2013, Mercer has established itself as a pioneer in the world of high-end vegan sneakers. The brand was the first to develop a completely sustainable sneaker made from grape leather combined with Piñatex, the innovative leather made from pineapple leaves. Recycled ocean plastic, in-house designed silhouettes, artisanal finishes: every piece is thought out from A to Z. Collaborations with NASA, UCLA, and the Beverly Hills Hotel confirm that Mercer plays in a league of its own — that of brands that are redefining the rules.

Mercer at Appart17 — Why we fell for it

At Appart17, we don't select brands by chance. Mercer Belgium naturally established itself in our selection because it embodies exactly what we look for: a contemporary fashion proposal, driven by sincere values and a true creative vision. Iconic sneakers, polished apparel for women and men, well-thought-out accessories — everything at Mercer tells a coherent story, from the material to the final silhouette.
