This brand new collection was designed by Belgian Red Flame and SOB ambassador Tessa Wullaert together with SOB football player Tine Debaets.
“Topwijf” means “awesome woman” in English, it’s a compliment to all women.
Haïke Vandecasteele, ceo of Topwijf, wanted to give something back for charity and chose together with SOB ambassador Tessa Wullaert to give the athletes with a mental disability financial support. One of the objectives of Special Olympics Belgium is to reach 20,000 athletes with an intellectual disability by 2020. Thanks to this exclusive collection, more athletes can realize their Olympic dream because one athlete costs 192€ per year to the non-profit organization.
The collection was launched accordingly on the “Day of the Compliments”, Friday 01 March, and is available until Sunday 14 April. The exclusive Limited Edition consists of sweaters for women and children, as well as a totebag. The 'o' in 'Topwijf' was changed by the Special Olympics logo and the clothing labels were personalized by designers Tessa and Tine.

About Topwijf
Top-class was born in 2016 with the idea that everyone can and may be awesome. An “awesome woman” is someone you look up to, although they are rarely aware of how great they are. Topwijf is the perfect way to give people recognition. You show the world through their items that you are awesome.
The brand started with a “topwijf” (= woman) collection, but quickly expanded it with topvent (= man), “topwijfje” (= girl), “topventje” (= boy) and topmama (= mama) collection.
These collections contain various items such as sweaters, t-shirts, mugs, totebags and socks.
