Who is the designer of Nanushka?
Sandra Sandor is the founder of Nanushka. After studying in 2000 at the London College of Fashion, Sandor returned back to Budapest after her studies and set up Nanushka in 2006. Nanushka designs soft luxury pieces with a focus on Hungarian heritage and simple functional fashion with sustainability at the forefront of what they do.
Nanushka was Sandor’s childhood nickname. As a child, she struggled to pronounce Sandy and would instead say ‘Nany’ which her father then nicknamed her Nanushka. It’s also the Russian word grandmother which feels fitting for a designer so wise before her time.
Where is Nanushka based?
The brand has always been based in Budapest and in fact, all of its production is in Hungary. Hungary used to have a large textile industry. However, it collapsed in the 80s due to technical advancements. Sandor wanted to keep all of the production in Hungary, using skilled seamstresses and pattern makers to create her vision.
We believe that if a garment is designed to function well, it will, by definition, be beautiful.
