About us
A people's city boutique with Scandinavian vibes
Hi there. It’s nice to meet you!
We are TwentyoneWood, the brand with the branch. When you would like to meet in person, come visit us at Ritsevoort in Alkmaar. Simply look up to find our branch and hop in.
At TwentyoneWood we keep it open and light. Making sure our collection is getting the spotlight it deserves. Let the items inspire you to create the style that suits you. Some days that may feel easier than others. We are always there to support you on that journey. And good coffee can help…did we mention you’re welcome for that too?!
It all started with Steven, our man with a heart for people and good clothing. In 2016 he followed his dream and created his world of fashion. A men’s city boutique was born, at Ritsevoort 7. Things were all good, but it got better. Liesbeth entered the building in 2018. With a background in visual merchandising, she was able to step up our game and your experience.
A men’s city boutique was thriving when across the street an empty space was looking our way. Questions arrived: “Shall we do a pop up?? Are we ready to show off our feminine side?” YES! We were ready. In 2020 Liesbeth followed her dream and created her world of fashion. She partnered up with Steven for this one. A woman’s city boutique was born, at Ritsevoort 14.
That is our story in a nutshell. Along the way we collected this group of people that feel like family. Find out about our team here -meet the team-. We truly want to welcome you to walk along with us into the future.
Let’s all feel inspired by one
and other in our world of fashion.
Lots of love,
TwentyoneWood
P.S. You don’t have to pick a side.
Feel free to come as you are and shop as you like.
Roy
Store manager | Fashion lover | Digits expert
This man is the real deal. He has got a natural sense of style. For him an item of quality and beauty is key.
Before he joined our team, Roy was like a fish in the water in a jeans store at the canals of Amsterdam. Then he hit the road to tell everybody about these good pairs of jeans. That’s how he entered our lives. At TwentyoneWood he found what he was missing. So we welcomed him with our arms wide open.
Nowadays we can’t really do without him since he fixes everything. He knows everything about our store and collections. If you have questions, just ask!
When you meet him in the store he loves to know how you are and what you’re up to. Meanwhile he styles you in the nicest outfits. Roy makes you feel seen.
Steven
Founder | Ambience creator | Fashion lover
Meet Steven and you feel like seeing a friend. He is our ultimate host. When he created his world of fashion it was an important value to make you feel welcome. It still is ‘one of’ or maybe even ‘the’ most important value that we have.
In the past Steven has worked in several stores and for a while you could find him doing some serious bank business. One of the jobs that still sticks with him is when he worked with young people that needed a mentor in life. He would give all his energy to those guys showing them what they can be.
Nowadays he still sees and enables the talent someone brings to our brand. He will encourage you to put yourself out there. That is what our team reflects.
Rowan
Allround stylist | Wardrobe specialist | Online creator
You can take one piece and Rowan shows you many ways to wear it. She is there to think outside the box and pick everything you love from different styles to create your own.
At Artemis Academie she learned to think beyond her first ideas and get out of her comfort zone. Subsequently she kept doing that in her past job as a concept creating photo stylist and she will keep doing that.
Rowan loves to help you out with creating a wardrobe that inspires and reflects you as a person.
Liesbeth
Co-owner TwentyoneWood woman |
Visual merchandising expert | Concept developer
Liesbeth loves creating experiences and spaces to make you feel inspired. When you visit our stores you can feel that magic.
As a little girl she already had this deep sense of style. You can say she is a little quirky and is always looking for items with a special note. Our collection mirrors what she admires in fashion design.
A dream came true when her world of fashion was created in our woman’s boutique. Liesbeth wants you to be the most unique person you can be. So let this be an invitation into our world to take a little quirkiness and confidence with you in your day to day life!
Viggo
Student | TwentyoneWoodie
Keep it simple and spontaneous with our Viggo. He is living in Amsterdam and exploring the students’ life. We are lucky to have him with us during the weekends.
Back in the days, he already loved to explore the world. You would find him outside, playing soccer or kitesurfing. All in all creating adventure stories with friends.
When it comes to fashion he is most happy in a good pair of jeans styled with a hoodie. And last but not least a pretty smile on his face. When you meet him, he will always try his best to put a smile on your face as well.
Bauke
Behind the scenes | , lover
Every team needs a silent force, Bauke is our one. He has his own company in bookkeeping and knows every comma in ours. But he is not only about the numbers for he is a listening ear to all of us.
We are very happy to have him!
