FOREWORD BY VIRGINIE MOROBÉ
As I look through the pages of our very first MANIFESTO issue, I can’t help but feel a rush of emotions. It’s a powerful reminder of theincredible journey we’ve been on over the last nine years. Thinking back just twelve months, I’m amazed at how much we’ve achieved and how far we’ve come in every aspect of our brand.
In the span of just ten months, we proudly opened two flagship stores in Knokke and Antwerp. At the same time, we completely revamped our online store to make it more stylish and user-friendly. Alongside our well-loved shoe collection, we launched a whole new line of accessories including bags, belts, jewelry, and even beach towels. We didn’t stop there—we also gave our branding, marketing, and packaging a fresh new look.
For me, MOROBÉ now feels like it’s truly come into its own. From the moment I first dreamed up my own brand, I had a clear vision for our shoes and how we’d present ourselves visually. I wanted to create a brand that women would turn to for special occasions and holidays. Now, nine years later, here we are, exactly where I hoped we’d be.
None of this would have been -possible without our incredible team, whose dedication and passion are the heart of MOROBÉ. To every member of Team MOROBÉ: your unique talents and hard work have been invaluable. I am deeply grateful for everything you’ve done over these past months and years. We couldn’t have done it without you.
As we look forward to the future, MOROBÉ is ready to take on the
world. I am more determined than ever to chase my dreams.
Lastly, I want to thank the countless women who have embraced MOROBÉ. Your support means everything to us. It brings me immense joy to know that our accessories are helping you feel confident and beautiful. Our mission is to empower you, and we’re committed to making you feel your best.

INTERVIEW WITH GLENN SESTIG
At MOROBÉ, our ethos has always been to create a complete
brand experience rather than just a retail space. In 2022, we
took a significant step forward by opening our first flagship
store in the charming seaside town of Knokke, Belgium. This
was not just an expansion of our brand but a manifestation
of our values, brought to life through a collaboration with the
renowned architect Glenn Sestig.

INTERVIEW WITH MICKAEL KARKOUSSE
In the universe of MOROBÉ, music isn’t just an accessory—
it’s the heartbeat of the brand. This dynamic interplay of
sound and style finds a kindred spirit in Mickael Karkousse,
the Belgian musician and artist best known as the frontman
of the electro-rock band GOOSE. With his magnetic stage
presence and innovative blend of rock and electronic music,
Karkousse’s journey is a tale of relentless creativity and bold
reinvention, perfectly in sync with MOROBÉ’s avant-garde ethos.
