Budapest: Haute Couture in Baby-Friendly Surroundings

The concierge at my hotel didn’t know about this place and that’s when knew that I had hit upon a real gem. Retrock is hailed online and off as the pulse of Hungarian fashion and I was eager to check it out. Two separate stores, Original and Deluxe, cater to different tastes. The first is more edgy and casual grunge and the latter is more high-end and couture. As I walked from one store to the next, I found that they lie on opposite sides of the most darling children’s park, Karolyi Kert, with three different playgrounds and beautiful lawns in between. Needless to say it was much easier to shop whilst the boys were occupied.

Turns out that this quiet little corner is part of Budapest’s Design District. Need I say more?
