What started as a denim label has developed into a full-fledged lifestyle brand. Vingino is building, step by step, a world in which children can dress from head to toe. Shoes and glasses are now a given. Both product groups have been created for years in close collaboration with specialized partners, Van Gastel Shoes and More Eyewear – while style, identity and quality remain firmly in the hands of Vingino itself.
Van Gastel Shoes: 180 years of craftsmanship meets Vingino’s street style
For the shoe collections, Vingino works with Van Gastel Shoes, a family business with over 180 years of history in the shoe industry. From the Gilze location, where the newly designed Vingino Footwear showroom is also located, the team works with colleagues in China, India and Indonesia. The joint collections combine the energy of Vingino with the craftsmanship and technical know-how of Van Gastel Shoes.
The shoes are made from high quality materials in reputable factories. Different combinations of materials create a contemporary look that fits perfectly with the rest of the Vingino range: cool, robust and with attention to detail. The fit of the collection is just as important. The technical team at Van Gastel Shoes attaches great importance to the development of lasts and optimal support so that children’s feet can develop healthily.
The fourth joint collection, planned for autumn/winter 2026, continues this line with new shapes, elegant materials and playful details.
More Eyewear: Glasses that think further than age
Vingino has also found its place in the eyewear market. The brand has been developing both prescription and sunglasses together with More Eyewear since 2010. The collaboration is personal and close in terms of content: every design is coordinated with Vingino owner Marijke van Beek, who helps decide on color, shape and styling.
The frames are made from high-quality, eco-friendly acetate, a robust plant-based material that is available in countless styles and colors. Depending on the model, a cool, colorful or fashionable look is created. What all glasses have in common is that they feel like child-sized adult frames: stylish, durable and perfect for everyday use.
Since children use their glasses intensively, the models are equipped with flexible hinges that are made specifically for children’s glasses in Germany. They are stable and can be easily repaired by an optician if necessary. “Children wear their glasses every day. They run, play, fall and get up again,” says Jaap from More Eyewear. “That’s why glasses not only have to be beautiful, they also have to keep up with your pace.”
Vingino Eyewear is now available in over 250 shop-in-shops and more than 600 points of sale in the Netherlands and Belgium. The collection includes five sizes – from mini to teen – and is also regularly worn by adults with smaller heads. “I’ve met several consumers between the ages of two and 80 who wear one of our Vingino frames. For me, that’s the best thing of all, because the feedback from users is actually always very positive,” says Jaap from More Eyewear.
A brand that grows with its wearers
Whether denim, sneakers or glasses, Vingino shows that a strong brand is not limited to a single product group. By working with experienced partners, the brand refines and expands its distinctive style without straying from its core: contemporary design, quality and a healthy dose of courage.
