SUSTAINABLY TRANSPARENT
WE STARTED BOGDAR WITH THE SOLE IDEA OF CREATING SOPHISTICATED SUSTAINABLE PIECES THAT MAKE WOMEN FEEL LIKE THE BEST VERSIONS OF THEMSELVES. SINCE THEN, THE BRAND GREW, AND WHILE THE IDEA OF SUSTAINABILITY REMAINED KEY FOR US, THE STYLE EVOLVED INTO MORE EDGY, FUN AND GLAMOROUS.
TODAY WE ARE ON A MISSION TO INTRODUCE ECO-FRIENDLY PRACTICES INTO THE PARTYWEAR SPACE AND PROVE THAT SUSTAINABILITY CAN BE CHIC, PLAYFUL, SEXY, AND FUN. TRANSPARENCY IS KEY TO US. WE DO NOT CLAIM TO BE 100% SUSTAINABLE, BUT WE DO PROMISE TO FIND THE MOST SUSTAINABLE PATH AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY. OVER HALF OF OUR COLLECTIONS IS MADE WITH CERTIFIED ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS, AND IT IS OUR GOAL TO INCREASE THAT RATIO WITH EACH COLLECTION TO FOLLOW.
OUR PEOPLE & OUR PROCESS
LOCALLY MADE
OUR COLLECTION IS MADE ENTIRELY IN OUR FAMILY-OWNED AND OPERATED ATELIER BY A 16-MEMBER TEAM, DEDICATED TO PERFECTION AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL. THE ATELIER IS BASED IN VIDIN, BULGARIA – A TOWN WITH RICH HISTORY IN CLOTHES MANUFACTURING AND MANY TALENTED AND SKILLED PEOPLE WORKING IN THE INDUSTRY. OUR OPERATION HAS HELPED THE ECONOMY OF THE POOREST REGION IN THE EU AND HIRED WORKERS LAID OFF WHEN FACTORIES IN TOWN HAD TO CLOSE DOWN, GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY THAT WE WANT TO BE A PART OF.
WE VALUE THE ART OF FASHION BUT NEVER PUT IT ABOVE THE PEOPLE WE WORK WITH AND THE WORLD WE LIVE IN. THIS IS WHY WE STRIVE FOR SUSTAINABILITY IN EVERY PART OF OUR CLOTHES’ JOURNEY AND WHY WE HAVE ALWAYS GIVEN DUE IMPORTANCE TO OUR TEAM’S GREAT SKILL AND DEDICATION.
