Romani Design

Castle District


Romani Design offers unique, handmade designs inspired by Roma traditions. Sisters Erika and Heléna Varga are on a mission to popularise Roma culture and to help integrate their Roma community into society through fashion. Their eye-popping designs burst with colourful floral motifs embroidered onto various fabrics. Call ahead.

While the design studio (which can be visited by appointment) is located in a city suburb, you can find their designs in the Castle District's Fian Koncept design shops.
