ROMANI DESIGN
10am-6pm Mon-Fri; M3 Arany János utca, 4, 6)
At once stylish and theatrical, the Roma-designed ready-to-wear, with its bright colours and
extravagant pleating, would literally stop traffic. Designer Erika Varga is a jeweller and
many of her pieces in silver and textile bear good-luck motifs: horseshoe, four-leaf clover
and lentils (it's a local thing).
