Our Story
Hi, I’m Aslı Tezcan, founder of Catchy Sights.
Leuven became my home almost a decade ago, a place where I built my family life and embraced its vibrant culture. But I realised something was missing when I looked for meaningful souvenirs to share with loved ones. Where were the gifts that truly captured Leuven’s unique charm?
In 2021, that question became an idea. Catchy Sights was born to create thoughtful, high-quality souvenirs that reflect the heart of Leuven — its iconic landmarks, daily scenes, and creative spirit.
What started for visitors soon became something more.
Over time, we noticed something surprising: locals loved our designs just as much as tourists did. Our products weren’t just souvenirs. They became everyday reminders of home, small works of art, and meaningful gifts for the people who live here.
Today, Catchy Sights offers over 11 collections and 190 unique products, each designed in collaboration with talented local artists. Together, we’re building something special — souvenirs that are modern, creative, and nothing like the mass-produced alternatives.
And we're just getting started.
Our Values
At Catchy Sights, we believe a good product does more than look beautiful — it should also have a positive impact on people and the planet.
Sustainability at Our Core
We prioritize environmentally conscious choices in every part of our work:
- No single-use plastics — ever.
- Products designed to be reusable and long-lasting.
- Local deliveries in Leuven by bicycle whenever possible.
- Eco-friendly materials like organic cotton, acid-free paper, and non-toxic ink.
- Minimal packaging to reduce waste.
Empowering Communities
Catchy Sights is about more than just souvenirs. It’s about supporting the people who make them:
- Collaborations with women’s cooperatives to help generate income and foster independence.
- Partnerships with local artists, designers, and entrepreneurs.
- 5–10% of our profits are donated annually to initiatives that support women in the workforce and strengthen solidarity.
What Makes Us Different
We’re here to capture the beauty of cities — from historic landmarks to everyday moments — and reflect that through products that are:
- Creative and timeless.
- Locally inspired and sustainably made.
- Designed to leave a lasting impression.
We hope you love what we create as much as we love creating it.
Catchy Sights is proud to be part of Leuven’s creative community, and we can’t wait to keep sharing its beauty with you, one meaningful gift at a time.
