About House of Bones | Alternative Fashion for Rock, Gothic & Punk Fans | Belgium
House of Bones — Alternative Fashion for Rock, Gothic, Punk & Metal Lovers
Born in Belgium. Built for the Outsiders.
If the mainstream world never felt like yours, you're exactly who House of Bones was made for. Founded in 2021 by Britt, a passionate one-woman operation based in Belgium, House of Bones started as an online store and has grown into a full boutique in Antwerp — the alternative fashion destination for the rock, gothic, punk, metal, and emo community across Belgium and the Netherlands.
Britt built House of Bones out of frustration. Alternative fashion in Belgium meant scouring the internet, waiting weeks, and settling for whatever niche corner of a mainstream store had to offer. She wanted a place that truly understood the culture — not just the aesthetic.
What We Stand For
At House of Bones, alternative fashion is not a trend — it's a lifestyle. We curate rock, punk, gothic, metal, grunge, and emo clothing and accessories that reflect real self-expression. Our collection features trusted brands like Banned, King Kerosin, Queen Kerosin, Brandit, Official Band Merch, Brandi, ... as well as limited-edition pieces from local designers. From band merchandise and alternative footwear to gothic jewellery and statement accessories — every piece is chosen because it belongs in your wardrobe, not because an algorithm said so.
We also care about how we do business. Our shipping uses recyclable cardboard packaging, and we buy in small quantities to reduce waste. Being part of a counterculture means questioning the system — including the fashion industry.

Built for the outsiders
If the mainstream world never felt like yours, you're exactly who House of Bones was made for. Rock, punk, gothic, metal, emo and grunge fashion, picked by people who actually live it.
Built out of frustration
Alternative fashion in Belgium meant scouring the internet, waiting weeks, and settling for whatever niche corner of a mainstream store had to offer. I wanted a place that truly understood the culture, not just the aesthetic.
So in 2021 I started House of Bones as a webshop. Two years later we opened our boutique at Kammenstraat 57, and today it's a home base for the rock, gothic, punk, metal and emo crowd from all over Belgium and the Netherlands.
Alternative fashion is not a trend. It's a lifestyle.

Is the collection in store the same as online?
Mostly, yes. In the store we sometimes carry limited collections from local designers that aren't available online and are hard to ship (like taxidermy). Got a question about availability? Just ask us.
Can I pick up my online order in store?
Yes. Choose 'Pickup' at checkout and skip the shipping costs. Your order waits for you in store for 7 calendar days.
Where can I park?
Parking in Antwerp is only available in underground car parks. The closest ones are Oudaan, Kammenstraat and Groenplaats. Prices are high in the city, so a P+R outside the city plus the tram is a good alternative.
Is the store wheelchair friendly?
Yes. The store is wide enough to browse comfortably, we have one larger fitting room, and if that is too small we happily give you privacy in our closed-off stock room. Our team is always there to help.
Can I use my gift card in store?
Yes. Webshop gift cards work at the till too. Show the QR code or your gift card code.
