THE BRAND
Borbala is a fashion brand based in Budapest, focusing on upcycling and plastic recycling. We create one-of-a-kind, experimental garments, and earrings from post-consumer plastic waste, leftovers, and second-hand clothes. We deconstruct and regenerate second-hand clothes while pushing forward traditional techniques and DIY methods like patchwork, quilting or textile collage. Our aesthetic is spontaneous and colourful always playing around with the concept of old and new, waste and precious, traditional and contemporary. Besides production, we are hosting workshops at festivals and in schools to present our recycling methods and raise awareness of plastic pollution
