I must say that their village is not full of shops... so, for shopping, the Marina is kind of "the place to be"! It includes all major conventional chains : H&M, Zara, Massimo Dutti, Pull&Bear , Mango, Bershka, Stradivarius,... But unlike Belgium, each piece is 5-10€ cheaper (even more at Dutti).

There are many taxis outside the mall, so that you can easily lug back all your shopping.
