WHO WE ARE

The creators of Balkania are ex-Yugoslavians who have lived in New York City for decades.

New York City, is a place that never requires an introduction and a place where Balkan people have settled, raised families, operated successful businesses, and maintained profound ancient traditions in a modern society. Balkans in New York have blended with people from all over the world and yet always stand-out from the rest.

Balkania is a unifying brand. It is meant to represent people from the most naturally beautiful region whose rich history often includes diaspora and divisiveness. Contrarily, in a city that never sleeps, with millions of people from every corner of the world in one place, coexisting daily, Balkan people never stopped creating a new history of oneness.

New York City, a pioneer in fashion and the leading city of diversity, where one thing is certain: New Yorkers love a good hoodie. Most New Yorkers have several hoodies. But this hoodie, the Balkania hoodie, is like no other hoodie, guaranteed.

Our designers are Balkan New Yorkers with professional backgrounds in business, hospitality, law, and mainly fashion. They have spent years testing and researching the best fabric and most flattering cut, meticulously creating the perfect hoodie with premiere manufacturers in New York’s Garment District. The Balkania hoodie is a unique luxury hoodie meant to provide utter comfort, a sleek fit, and the expression of Balkan pride in New York City and everywhere else.
