Schatzi and LoveBug

Budapest’s vintage shops are full of unique treasures. Schatzi, run by Barbara Fehér and Katalin Juhász, offers not only vintage gems but a sense of community: it’s also a cafe and supports young independent designers. Don’t forget to check out their designer backpacks. “Everyone can find their own style, from the designer canvas gym bags till the most unique and exclusive leather backpacks,” says Fehér. Violetta Kertesz’s LoveBug shop is located in a flat and hosts exhibitions, workshops and parties. Kertesz is in love with the energy of Budapest. “I’ve got a million favourite things here [...]. The landscape is amazing, wide river, mountains and of course the architecture is amazing,” she says. Text: Anastasiia Fedorova
