THE DESIGNERS
Boglárka Szögi-Csomány and Tamás Faragó graduated from Óbuda University as industrial product and design engineers. They both worked for the same clothing wholesaler, where they learned what it takes to run a fashion company from design to production to market. With the knowledge gained there, they started to build their own brand.
The two designers represent different approaches: while Boglárka, as a mother of three, takes a more practical approach to design, Tamás brings extravagant, artistic, gutsy forms to the world of the brand.
Our leatherworkers – who now exclusively produce VENGRU products – enrich the brand with many years of experience and precise, handcrafted expertise.
THE BRAND
The VENGRU brand was founded by Boglárka Szögi-Csomány and Tamás Faragó in 2017. Our goal is to make practical, high-quality and unique bags that we are happy to wear ourselves.
Initially, we carried out all the stages of preparation of the bags, we tailored the leather and sewed the bags ourselves. Today, VENGRU has developed into a micro-enterprise, and it also provides jobs for Hungarian leatherworkers who produce exclusively VENGRU products.
VENGRU's mission is to create high-quality, timeless pieces of eternal value, reflecting the needs of the customers and at the same time giving space to the creativity of our clients. The design of our leather bags is easily recognizable and memorable, and its aesthetics are defined by geometric shapes.
V as VENGRU – V as Variable
The uniqueness of our bags is due to their high variability. The straps and handles of each bag are interchangeable, adjustable, and several different straps can be attached to one bag. By varying different colours and patterns, individual compositions can be created, and the possibilities are limited only by the creativity of the customers.
The pieces of the Play modular collection can be combined with each other: the underlying bags (backpacks, shoppers, etc.) can be combined with smaller so-called panel bags, which can be attached to the front of the base bags with zippers. On the one hand, the panel bag functions as a separate pocket, and on the other hand, it changes the look of the base bag, creating new, exciting shapes and colour schemes. The multifunctionality of the bags is highlighted by the fact that the panel bag can be carried separately as a mini-bag, belt bag, small shoulder bag or even as a handbag without a strap.
In addition to our now iconic combinable modular leather bags, over time, unique leather bags of the GEM collection, linen bags and accessories – belts, purses, glasses cases, bracelets, keychains, watch straps, coin and earphone holders – have also appeared in the brand's offerings. With the introduction of alpaca scarves, we are also opening up to a new direction: to clothing products.
THE COLLECTION
GEOMORPHOSIS – Geometry in Motion
The Story Behind the Collection
The paths of the two brands have crossed multiple times at international and domestic industry events. The designers quickly found themselves on the same wavelength, united by shared values, laying the foundation for a collaborative project.
This is a collaboration not about compromise, but about evolution. Geometric forms, shaped and refined through joint creation, become truly exceptional. Rigid geometries loosen and merge into cohesive structures. They fuse, shift, and transform into living, dynamic entities. This is not chaos—it is controlled motion. The cut lines do more than define—they guide movement. The wearer’s body activates the geometric structures, bringing layers and forms to life.
