At Wimzzi, behind every handmade creation is a person, a passion and a story. That's exactly what our “Wimzzi Meets” series is all about: meeting the artisans, designers and entrepreneurs who keep local craftsmanship alive and helping you discover the people behind your favourite products. Today, we're heading to Nivelles, in Walloon Brabant, Belgium, to meet Catherine Mollaert, the founder of Picolaine, a Belgian brand specialising in handmade textile accessories.
Boiled wool fingerless gloves, knitted headbands, warm winter accessories and handmade home products are all part of her world, where softness, comfort and traditional craftsmanship come together.
Picolaine is a lovely discovery for anyone looking for women's fingerless gloves, original winter accessories, handmade wool headbands, alternatives to mass-produced fashion accessories or unique handmade gifts Made in Belgium.
And with autumn here, it's hard not to fall in love with these cosy creations that keep you warm while adding a stylish touch to your outfit.
What we love about Picolaine is the way Catherine transforms everyday accessories into creations that are practical, soft and elegant.
She works with different textiles, including wool, cotton and suede-effect fabric, to create accessories designed for cooler days.
Among her creations, you'll find boiled wool fingerless gloves lined with cotton velvet, perfect for keeping your hands and wrists warm while leaving your fingers free.
They're practical for using your phone, holding a coffee or going for a walk, making them a lovely alternative to traditional gloves.
Picolaine also offers teddy suede-effect fingerless gloves and hand-knitted wool headbands, ideal for completing an autumn or winter outfit without compromising on comfort.
And because textile craftsmanship isn't limited to fashion, Catherine also creates handmade products for the home, including knitted pot holders and trivets made from recycled cotton.
At Wimzzi, we naturally think about gift ideas too!
A pair of handmade wool fingerless gloves, a warm knitted headband or a cosy home accessory can make a wonderful original Christmas gift, birthday present or thoughtful surprise for your mum, a friend, sister or colleague.
Behind every piece is the work of a Belgian maker, the careful choice of materials and the attention to detail that makes handmade products so special.
Creating beautiful accessories is one thing. Helping people who appreciate handmade products discover them is another.
That's where a platform like Wimzzi can make a difference for an independent Belgian brand such as Picolaine.
Wimzzi brings together Belgian artisans and makers in one online marketplace dedicated to local craftsmanship, helping customers discover original products and the people who create them.
For anyone searching for handmade fingerless gloves in Belgium, original wool headbands, women's winter accessories or unique artisan gifts, Wimzzi makes it easier to find independent Belgian brands that don't always have the same visibility as large retailers.
But the Wimzzi story is also deeply human.
Behind the platform are Laetitia and Jing, the two co-founders, who want to create much more than an online shop.
Their ambition is to build a community where Belgian artisans can showcase their craftsmanship, gain visibility and connect with new customers.
By introducing Catherine and Picolaine, we also want to remind you that behind every pair of fingerless gloves or knitted headband are hours of work, creativity, skill and a passionate person.
Every handmade creation has its own story.
It's this human side of craftsmanship that inspires us to keep sharing the stories of talented Belgian makers.

Through this series, we introduce you to the artisans and independent makers who are part of the Wimzzi community.
