why drenkrom
DRENKROM was founded in Budapest in 2017 and is now designed and handcrafted in Berlin.
We transform carefully selected second-hand textiles, deadstock fabrics and production-waste latex into bold, one-of-a-kind garments and accessories.
But sustainability is only part of the story. Our pieces create a different relationship between the wearer and their surroundings — turning getting dressed into an opportunity for expression, interaction and connection.
Every piece is designed to be worn, lived in, repaired and remembered.
No mass production.
No seasons.
No compromises.
Just original design, crafted with intention, made to outlive trends.
One year warranty and repair service in Berlin.
Story of DRENKROM
DRENKROM started in Budapest in 2017 with a simple idea: clothing could be more than something you wear.
Founded by Ildikó Dávid, the brand grew from a fascination with fashion, subculture, sexuality and the freedom to dress outside the rules. From the beginning, DRENKROM experimented with second-hand garments, discarded materials and unexpected combinations, turning what already existed into something completely new.
In 2019, DRENKROM moved with Ildikó to Berlin, where the brand found a new home in the city’s underground creative culture. Berlin gave DRENKROM space to become louder, stranger and more experimental — somewhere between streetwear, fetish, contemporary fashion and performance.
Today, DRENKROM is run by Ildikó and Tibor, who design and create the collections together in Berlin. They work with carefully selected second-hand textiles, deadstock and production waste, transforming materials with a history into one-of-a-kind pieces with a new purpose.
But DRENKROM has never been interested in sustainability simply for the sake of being sustainable.
We believe people keep the things they truly love.
That’s why our clothes are designed to create desire first — and to last afterwards. Every piece is made in small quantities or as a one-off, with attention to construction, materials and the person who will wear it.
Over the years, DRENKROM has grown through collaborations with artists, performers and queer communities, while remaining rooted in the same idea it started with: fashion should give you the freedom to express something that words sometimes can’t.
From Budapest to Berlin, from discarded materials to unforgettable outfits, DRENKROM continues to turn what already exists into something unexpected.
Nothing mass-produced. Nothing ordinary. Just clothes with a past, a personality and hopefully a long future.
