Zoe&Co | Budapest, Hungary

The popularity of Zoe Phobic, the brand currently known as Zoe&Co, has been increasing since its foundation, so it is not surprising that we come across their simple, handmade backpacks on the streets of Budapest. For the brand, which launches a new collection every six months, animal welfare is a top priority, so only vegan leather is used in the production process.
