Last Thursday I joined the opening celebrations of the Brussels Flag Ship store for the Greek natural cosmetics brand Korres. The story of the brand, whose innovative and stylish packaging has won design awards and whose product range now offers make-up, skin care, hair products and fragrances, started when George Korres joined his pharmacological expertise with the homeopathic tradition of Greece’s first homeopathic pharmacy, The Tzivanides, to introduce a natural skin care line. I remember how I first got to know this brand, when I found a small selection of the it’s products in a pharmacy in Cyprus about 5-6 years ago. I had read about Korres before, but the products were difficult to come by back then in Finland. Over the years I have discovered a few pharmacies and retailers stocking my favourite face wash and shower gel wherever I lived, but now I’m happy that I can just walk into this amazing store and experience the world of Korres to the full.

The store is located on one of the little charming side streets of the Grand Sablon, 29, rue de Rollebeek.

With Christmas in mind, Korres offers plenty of ideas for a beautiful, personal gift.

My absolute “can’t live without”: The White Tea Fluid Gel Cleanser

The herbs and plants used to decorate the store create a warm atmosphere and let the customer imagine the natural origins and the expertise behind the product.

Some of the rustic features of the old building were left visible, which further added to the aesthetics of the store.

Korres also has an extensive line of make-up products, which I’m not at all familiar with yet, but the full reds and bright pinks are candy for the eye.

What can I say, I ❤ Korres Brussels

So thank you for the absolutely beautiful evening, Korres team! I walked home with two bags of purchases and a gift, more on that later…
