Why Nanushka is worth it
Nanushka cuts soft tailoring and its own alt-leather into relaxed, sculpted shapes: Budapest bohemia with a clean, modern line.
The signature is an in-house alt-leather made with recycled polyester, cut into dresses, skirts and jackets that drape and move instead of sitting stiff. Around it sit fluid dresses, wide trousers and knits, many deliberately oversized, with fabric blocking and handmade details, and most of the range is produced in Hungary, close to its Budapest base.

About Nanushka
Sandra Sándor founded Nanushka in Budapest in 2005, building on her final thesis at London College of Fashion. It began in a small storage space beside her family home, with one seamstress and one pattern maker.
It grew into a Central European fashion house with menswear, accessories and homeware, known for relaxed tailoring, its own alt-leather and a bohemian take on minimalism.
