This month in the spotlight: maison KOOS
In March 2025, it's the turn of maison KOOS , the online concept store of Kirsten Oosterwaal. A webshop full of carefully selected, unique products that you won't find on every street corner. Read on to discover more about Kirsten, her passion for entrepreneurship and a fun promotion she has especially for Happlify readers!
From dream to webshop
Behind maison KOOS is Kirsten Oosterwaal (51), a driven entrepreneur with a love for beautiful products. She runs her webshop from Waalwijk, in addition to her life as a mother of two nice, headstrong children and her love for coffee, yoga, reading, snowboarding and gaming on the Nintendo.
The idea for maison KOOS came about in a special place: during her honeymoon in Greece. There Kirsten discovered a beautiful Greek brand that was not yet available in the Netherlands. In her mind she immediately saw an atmospheric online store, filled with this brand and other unique items that you cannot just find anywhere.
For years it remained an idea, but after a career in retail and commercial services, Kirsten decided to take the plunge. In January 2016, maison KOOS was officially launched – and since then the shop has grown into a beloved destination for special lifestyle products. The style: clean, timeless and unique.
The charm of entrepreneurship
What Kirsten likes most about running her webshop? The variety! One day she is busy with the administration (boring, but necessary), the next day she lovingly packs orders for her customers.
She also enjoys the freedom and flexibility of entrepreneurship. As her own boss, she can manage her own time, so she can also be there for her family. "That you are home when they come home from school, or that you can spontaneously go out for an afternoon and do something fun - that is priceless!"
Always looking for unique finds
What makes maison KOOS so special is the careful selection of products. Kirsten is always looking for new, surprising labels. She does this by visiting fairs, but also via social media and magazines. In this way, she always knows how to find the most beautiful items that fit perfectly within her concept store.
