Catchy Sights

A Love Letter to Leuven...

We create illustrated gifts that celebrate the beauty, spirit, and stories of Leuven.

Born from a Love for Local

Catchy Sights began with a simple idea — to turn everyday scenes of Leuven into meaningful keepsakes. It all started with a special collection featuring illustrated posters and tote bags inspired by two beloved landmarks: the Grote Markt and the Ladeuzeplein. From there, new collections and fresh artistic drawings followed, each one adding a new layer to our story. Every product we create is a heartfelt tribute to the city we call home — capturing its charm, spirit, and hidden corners in a way that stays with you.

Illustrated Gifts Rooted in Place

At Catchy Sights, our collection features posters, postcards, coasters, keychains, magnets, notebooks, and more — each one lovingly designed to reflect the spirit of Leuven.  Our products are crafted with intention, made to be cherished every day while keeping your connection to the city alive.

We Make Memories You Can Hold

We believe souvenirs shouldn’t be throwaway items. They should feel like little pieces of a place — stories you can take home, give to others, or keep close. Everything we make is rooted in local culture, artistic expression, and a deep love for Leuven.

Made With Intention

Sustainable by Design

Sustainability isn’t an afterthought — it’s at the core of every decision we make:

  • We never use single-use plastics.
  • Our products are designed to last and be reused.
  • Local deliveries in Leuven happen by bike when possible.
  • We favour eco-conscious materials like organic cotton, acid-free paper, and non-toxic inks.
  • Packaging is kept minimal to reduce waste.

Empowering Local Makers

Every design reflects real places, moments, and stories from Leuven. We collaborate with artists and creatives who live or have spent time in the city — people who understand what makes it feel like home.

For the manufacturing of our products, we partner with women’s cooperatives to ensure the ethical production of each item.

Creative with Purpose

We work with local illustrators to bring familiar places to life in original and meaningful ways.

From historic landmarks to small, everyday moments — our designs aim to capture the soul of a city with care and creativity.

The Artists Behind the Illustrations

At Catchy Sights, every design begins with a pencil, a pen, or a brush in the hands of a local artist. Each brings their own vision of Leuven to life—one landmark, street corner, or character at a time.

These are some of the creatives behind the illustrations, the people who make our city come alive in print.
