Boom Bloom
Universal fashion designs with character shaped by the people who wear them, by Marcelina Łagódka.
BOOM BLOOM is a fashion brand that designs and creates clothes and accessories for everyone who values individualism, timelessness and high quality. Each season we create small volume but carefully thought-out collections of unisex coats, hoodies, t-shirts, tunics, dresses and ranges of corresponding accessories. Each product is hand sewn by the designer herself using only top of the line fabrics made in Poland, with all the quality certificates.
Boom Bloom projects can be characterized as minimalist yet ingenious forms that appeal to various people, with one rule for their designs: a person who wears them shapes their style, not the other way around. They can be worn in different ways, formed and composed according to your preferences, so they can fit many different stylings and complete your perfect look.

Trashki
Unique accessories made by recycled materials, by Magdalena Olearczyk-Porębska.
TRASHKI appeared in Cracow in 2010. A group of young designers started recycling materials qualified as wastes, like banners used for advertising. They decided to make unique bags from unconventional cloth with unique graphic. In 5 years they managed to elaborate some proven models of their products and they still have new ideas.
They make unique bags, cases (etui) and holders for tablets and laptops and different accessories, all made by recycled materials, carefully selected and prepared for the process of sewing. Combining an ecological flair with a cultural context, they made an exceptional product.
