History

Anton Vlasman opened his first menswear store in 1939 on the Mauritsweg in Rotterdam. The shop was notable for its English style, both in interior design and in the assortment it offered, and it set itself apart from other retailers through personal service and high quality standards. Over the years the interior was somewhat adapted to the requirements of the times, but it retained the atmosphere of the past. The business later moved to a stylish building at Van Vollenhovenstraat 21 in the charming Scheepvaartkwartier district of Rotterdam, where it continues to operate. The store assembled an extensive and refined collection of English, Italian and German make, carefully selected with a passion for high-quality materials, fabrics and craftsmanship. Personal service remained central, with experienced professionals such as Hans van Drunen and Jan Duijn assisting customers. The retailer also offers made-to-measure suits, creating unique garments tailored to individual wishes and personality, and welcomes customers during opening hours as well as by appointment outside these times. In recent years Anton Vlasman entered a collaboration with Bron Jewelry, which opened its new boutique in the Anton Vlasman building in the Scheepvaartkwartier, further strengthening the style offering. The company has been in business for over 85 years.
