In-house Brands
Let us show you brands that have been incubated and accelerated exclusively at Barney Studio
folkjord is a project that we created out of our love for traveling, art, food and Slovaks and Czechs living abroad. We love to conquer the world by creating creative visuals and concepts that are spreading joy. We decided to put this love on prints and other creative products that can be put into households and offices all around the world.
Another brand that has risen right in our creative studio Barney is Balmora. It’s our house brand of luxurious fashion, mostly focusing on creating trendy one-size pieces. The key differentiator is not only the fact that the brand is unique, but also the fact that we do the designs right in our studio and then have it printed onto our cloth.
Dobsinski is another project we have fully developed internally. It’s a Slovak gin brand based on fairy tales and stories from one of the best Slovak authors of all time – Pavol Dobsinsky. We created everything from scratch.
Finito is another one of our internal projects and it is a brand of homemade Italian food products. This includes, for example, pasta or pizza sauces or pickled products. Since our co-founder is originally from the sunny region of Puglia and feels a great love not only for Italy, but also for food and cooking, the creation of the Finito brand was a logical step. Follow the progress of the project and soak up through food the atmosphere of a sunny country full of flavours that will not be forgotten.
