TICA Brussels is taking shape! Since the official takeover, the location has always been open to TICA members.

Visit TICA Brussels and be inspired by renewed stands, unique brands, and a surprising assortment. Whether you’re looking for the latest trends or timeless classics, at TICA Brussels you’ll always find what you’re looking for and more.
