  1. A

    Byblos

    Anchor tenant of the pedestrianised thoroughfare that so desperately wants to be called ‘Fashion Street’, this ultraelegant establishment owned by Hungarian-American movie mogul Andrew G Vajna has both casual wear and formal attire for both men and women from international designers as well as its own youth-oriented Byblos Blu line.

    Balogh Kestyű Üzlet

    If he can have a pair of bespoke shoes from Vass, why can’t she have a pair of custom-made gloves lined with cashmere? You’ll get them here at the ‘Balogh Gloves Shop’ – and there’s any number of materials to choose from for men too, including shearling-lined leather gloves.

    Tisza Cipő

    Tisza Cipő ‘What goes around comes around’, the old saying tells us and that’s certainly true of ‘Tisza Shoes’ which has metamorphosed as a communist-era producer of forgettable footwear (‘since 1971’) to uber-trendy trainer manufacturer.

    Jajcica

    Whatever your ‘drag’ of choice happens to be – 1960s camp to leather or military – the folks at this anti-fashion emporium of used and vintage clothes will have you kitted out before you can say ‘Trick or Treat’. Their strong point is 1970s retro.

    Eclectick

    Just opposite the Centrál Kávéház, local designer Edina Farkas’ boutique mostly sells her own innovative creations but also stocks clothing and accessories by Aquanauta, Camou, Balkan Tango, Heart and Roll, Red Aster, PUCC, Kriszta Marosi and Kati Nádasdi.

    Valeria Fazekas

    Are they hats or is it art? We’ll say both. Some of the limited headgear in a wide range or colours and fabrics on offer in this small gem of a boutique are out of this world (or at least on their way). Designer/artist Fazekas also does scarves and stylish tops.

    Manu-Art

    This small shop is stuffed to the gills with brightly coloured T-shirts, bags and sink-in beanbag chairs produced by local designers. And you can tick the green box – most of the materials used are cotton, hemp and linen.

    Voodoo Billy

    Rockabilly, psychobilly, Voodoo Billy – looks like the ’50s on acid to us. But you’ll find some pretty unique clothes and accessories (including jewellery) at this cage-like shop on the Little Ring Road.

    Vass

    A traditional shoemaker that stocks both ready-to-wear and cobbles to order, Vass has a reputation that goes back to 1896, and some people travel to Hungary just to have their footwear made here.
