Among the latest pieces of Bálint Sára, we can find oversized clothes, softly layered tops and loose dresses. Sára not only pays great attention to quality and uniqueness, but also to environmentally conscious creations. She regularly works with recycled materials and yarn, which she often dyes by hand. Her most popular pieces are the chunky hats of the collection LOVE HAT, knitted from thick yarn and often topped with huge pompoms.

Lilla Papai

One of the youngest Hungarian fashion brands has only had one collection, yet Lilla Papai's designs are already tremendously popular. The clothes are completely seamless, and are made by interlacing and twisting instead. We are huge fans of the fall/winter collection, and even though it is only January, we've decided to show you a preview of the spring/summer collection. The dynamic black-and-white colour scheme is contrasted by soft pastels and strong shades, and the use of lines and fine gradients are a feature of this new season as well. We can choose from shorts, sweaters, skirts and dresses, and if we want to create the perfect outfit, we can also purchase a bag of the same character from Laoni.

Price: sweaters and cardigans between 16 000 - 41 000 HUF, dresses between 42 000 - 62 000 HUF

Available: LAONI la STORE, and Treasure

Eszka

Psychedelic patterns of the 70s, stylised animal motifs, stripes, squares and sometimes startling colour combinations determine the mood of Kriszta Szakos’ brand Eszka. She definitely knows how to design creations that stand out in the crowd. Her clothes can be inspired by anything from films to buildings, focusing on mood fragments. In addition to these very brave pieces that are all made in the family workshop, there is a new line called ESZKA HOME, that includes decorative pillows and blankets. Soon there'll be men’s clothing offered as well.

Price: between 10 000 - 50.000 HUF
