CHOPOVA LOWENA

A brand launched in 2017 by London-based Central Saint Martins graduates Emma Chopova and Laura Lowena

They express a punk spirit by making extensive use of traditional textiles, crafts, and techniques—such as London checks, patchwork, and pleats—and by adding feminine accents, they create a striking aesthetic that is unforgettable at first glance

Drawing inspiration from a wide range of themes—from their Bulgarian cultural roots to 1980s rock climbing—many of their pieces are meticulously handcrafted, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship throughout.

The brand addresses the serious issues of mass production and mass consumption by prioritizing handmade production wherever possible, thereby reducing the environmental impact of factory manufacturing and engaging in other ethical initiatives.
