How did your entrepreneurial journey begin?
While studying Fashion & Business Management, I launched my first brand in 2021: ‘Atelier Amandine’. I wanted to create beautiful clothing in a sustainable way, using leftover fabrics from luxury brands – without incorporating their logos into the fabric. A few years later, ‘Revived’ was born, a bolder brand that does use the logos in its designs. The style is different, but the values are the same: ethical and environmentally friendly production.

And then there’s Diplomata?
I’m the distributor for Diplomata in Belgium, the Netherlands and France. It’s a cracker brand I discovered in Portugal. The crackers are made by a family-run business, and we bring them here. It’s a different kind of project, but with the same philosophy: pure, clean, no additives, vegan and lactose-free.

Why did you choose to work with Widem Logistics?
With Diplomata, I suddenly had to consider transport between Portugal and Belgium. I was looking for a logistics partner that was both flexible and reliable – and that’s how I found Widem Logistics. What struck me immediately was how quickly everything was arranged and how my contact, Jo, really thought along with me. Not just about shipping, but the bigger picture too.

And now you work together on more than just Diplomata?
That’s right. The fashion labels have grown, and it became too much to handle everything myself. Now, Widem Logistics also takes care of warehousing and shipping for both Atelier Amandine (B2B) and Revived (B2C). They personalise my shipments and even help think ahead about international expansion. Having one partner for everything saves me so much time and energy.

What makes Widem Logistics a true partner for you?
The personal approach. As a young and small entrepreneur, it’s so important to be taken seriously. Jo and his colleagues treat my brands as if they were their own projects. They’re not just a service provider – they’re an extension of my business. You can also feel that everyone really knows what they’re doing, and that professionalism is a huge added value for a business.

What are your dreams for the future?
I dream of Atelier Amandine becoming an established name in Belgian and international wholesale – a trusted brand people turn to when they want something just a bit different (wearable, but with a special touch). I see Revived growing online, but also with more offline meeting points, such as pop-ups and flagship stores in various countries. And I want Diplomata to become a staple in supermarkets and delicatessens in Belgium, the Netherlands and France. Thanks to Widem Logistics, I know the logistics side won’t be a barrier to that growth.

Thank you, Amandine. We’re proud to support you in achieving all your dreams!
