About us

 

I imagine the magical cave from the popular fairy tale as a space filled with priceless vintage treasures from the archives of the most luxurious historical fashion houses in the world. And also – the fantastic silk, wool, mohair, cashmere and linen from which they are made.

 

With 15 years of experience in the field of fashion – as a journalist and vintage curator – I managed to turn my fantasies into reality in the form of the online space CODE MODA. Here I present not only our expert designer vintage selection, but also my own sustainable clothing line, made in Bulgaria from premium deadstock fabrics from the ateliers of world-famous fashion houses. Welcome to my world (and wardrobe), filled with passion, beauty and sustainable fashion. CODE MODA, open up!

 

Impeccable high-end quality and high-street practicality – I wanted the best of both worlds. Thus was born the idea for CODE MODA Atelier – my own sustainable clothing line made from premium deadstock fabrics, rescued directly from the ateliers and warehouses of the most luxurious fashion houses in Europe (including those from the LVMH group) and accordingly produced in accordance with the European REACH regulation for the environmental friendliness of fabrics.

 

To wear something beautiful and valuable every day, in real life, with more meaning and longevity than mass fashion. That is exactly what I wanted to create. I offer you classic models with a pinch of unconventional details for individuality, but also for timelessness. The CODE MODA Atelier line is handmade at Solea Studio – a niche tailoring studio in Varna, Bulgaria, which creates limited edition garments with craftsmanship, precision and love. This is also a female-led production, founded by a tailor with years of experience working for the biggest names in the global fashion market, with the mission to bring quality and craftsmanship, born in our country and forged on the international stage.

 

And because the Devil does wear Prada (and hides in the details), at CODE MODA we combine our own CODE MODA Atelier designs with the most luxurious and timeless vintage designer pieces. Building the desired meaningful, capsule wardrobe.

 

Nedyalko Nedelchev, my partner-in-crime and co-founder, is a true master at authenticating designer products. He also plays the role of buyer, finding hidden treasures from all kinds of sources.

 

After 15 years of working in the largest platforms in Europere reselling luxury designer products, in 2024 we finally offered our expertly curated vintage selection in our homeland, Bulgaria. In only two years we've already built a community of loyal customers – true fashion maniacs, because with our knowledge of the market and (eternal) trends we select for you only authentic designer vintage treasures that have proven their relevance and value over time. We participate for you in international vintage auctions and select our products one by one from European vintage warehouses.

 

A Fendi jacket from 1973, a Christian Dior honeycomb print bag (trendy since its creation in 1960 until today), a painted silk top from the Karl Lagerfeld era at Chloe (1964-1983), shaggy leather boots from Maison Martin Margiela, the iconic Mombasa bag from Yves Saint Laurent, an Hermes scarf with a gastronomic map of the world - a masterpiece - these are just some of the priceless vintage treasures that we have selected for you over time. We do it passionately and with love, believing in fashion, in beauty, in kindness.
