About Lies Mertens
Lies Mertens is an Antwerp-based label that designs leather bags with a focus on functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability. Our designs are tactile and thoughtfully developed, with attention to detail and materials. We collaborate with small ateliers in Italy and Tunisia, where each piece is finished by hand.
Our visual language is clear, pure, and timeless. We avoid fleeting trends and consciously maintain a serene and consistent visual line. An affinity with this style and vision is essential. In your motivation, clearly express why you identify with this approach.

You will support campaigns, social media, website maintenance, press, and communication in and around the brand. You will gain a clear understanding of how marketing and communication are organized and executed within a creative organization in the fashion sector.
You will work together with a small, enthusiastic team at the office in Antwerp, which is also connected to the atelier. You will have the opportunity to learn, contribute ideas, and take initiative. During your internship you will be guided by the team and assigned meaningful tasks.
