Founded in 2018 by Borbala Ferencz, a Romanian-Hungarian designer rooted in the resourcefulness of post-communist Eastern Europe, BORBALA is an avant-garde upcycling label that transforms waste into wearable art. Operating between Budapest and Târgu-Mureș, the brand challenges the fashion industry’s excess by working exclusively with discarded materials—repurposing second-hand sportswear, industrial textile remnants, and post-consumer plastic waste into bold, experimental garments.
