DORKO “DRK”

You might have spotted a few stores with the logo “DRK” while walking around or on your sightseeing bus. Dorko is a Hungarian brand designing footwear, clothing, caps and accessories in collaboration with many street and tattoo artists as well as musicians, architects and other young talented Hungarians. What we love about this brand is that they’re not afraid to use bold colors and statements; they’re courageous enough to express their ideas and feelings in their designs. The Hungarian brand, Dorko’s pieces are the souvenirs you didn’t know you wanted. So how about a souvenir that “takes you good places” as their slogan says?

You’ve probably heard of this brand, but if you haven’t here’s everything you need to know. In 2006 a new Hungarian brand, Nanushka, was born and founded by Sandra Sándor. With the rise of Instagram and other social media platforms, the brand took the world by storm and became a celebrity favorite, with models like Gigi Hadid and Hailey Baldwin rocking some Nanushka pieces. Sandra’s creations are designed to function well and become staples in the modern human’s closet; the designer is inspired by Eastern and Western cultural references. Nanushka pieces are sophisticated and gracefully stylish, how about a wardrobe staple to remember your Budapest vacation by?
