Meet our bestsellers — the styles you come back to most often and reach for first. Balagan was founded in 2014; we design all our styles ourselves and make entire collections in Poland from natural leather. Many models from our very first collections are still bestsellers today — you've been coming back to them for over 10 years.
Where it all began
It started with a single pair of shoes and a friendship with an experienced shoemaker — that's how the Opera ballet flats were born, our first design and a bestseller to this day. Soon after came the Rofe bag, and so began a whole family of beloved designs. Today they're joined by others we've fallen in love with ourselves: the Tefer loafers, the Dora pumps and the Prima ballet flats.
The Rofe family and other favorites
The Rofe bag has grown into new sizes and versions — Rofe Vintage, Sicily, Hug, Roha. Each one is made from soft vegetable-tanned leather that gains character and ages beautifully over time. These are pieces designed as wardrobe staples: you wear them today, tomorrow and for years to come.
