Guest Bio
The founder and managing director is Goran Bugaric from Bor, Serbia. The bespoke designer has been running his own label BUGARIC in the ‘Schnittbogen’ in one of Vienna's underground railway arches near the Gumpendorfergürtel since October 2012. BUGARIC stands for high-quality materials and first-class workmanship, for which the bespoke designer is not least responsible with his many years of training and experience (master craftsman's certificate for women's dressmakers). However, the label is not only characterised by outstanding craftsmanship. Customer satisfaction is also a top priority, which is why it is very important to Goran Bugaric that every customer feels comfortable in their garment.
