Attila Balint founded our brand in 2012 in Budapest, which has been home to our studio and showroom ever since.
The idea was born during an afternoon relaxation in the healing thermal water of the Széchenyi Thermal Bath. The aim was to create and offer sophisticated and high quality swimwear and accessories, which are suitable for this prestigious environment. Our SPA and resort collection patterns were inspired by the architecture of Budapest Baths ever since, which nostalgically harkens back to the populat cement tile motifs of the late 1800s.
We proudly invite you to our Spa Shops located in Széchenyi and St. Gellért Baths to feel the spirit of our brand origin.
Our brand's main inspiration is our founder's grandmother, Etelka, the embodiment of the eternal woman. An elegant lady who paid special attention to the clothes she designed and made herself. To this day, her attitude serves as a guide for Attila Bálint, the founder of the brand, and the PELSO team in the process of selecting materials, development of fine details, and the search for new things. We design for today's "Etelkas": for contemporary ladies who are always looking for new ideas, uniqueness and quality, not only in fashion but also in the arts, travel and life in general.
We design luxury swim-resort and ready-to-wear collections in which fine art, luxury, and sustainable fashion design are mixed: we design and create our clothes in such a way that they will last a lifetime and that the owner will enjoy wearing them year after year. All our products are designed and sewn in Hungary, using only the finest Italian materials. Timeless and at the same time modern, exciting styles come to life in our collections: every year we refine the shapes and discover new technologies, and innovative, environmentally friendly materials, but one thing remains unchanged: every PELSO garment carries the atmosphere of a waterside holiday and invites you to an adventure, in which the slower lifestyle and the small pleasures of life are given the greatest emphasis.
Our swimwear is designed by Angéla Mészáros, while the Ready to wear collections are created by Eszter Füzes. We design for women and men who are purposeful in life, who pay attention to themselves and their environment, and who follow the philosophy of "less is more". For whom clothes are not only a way of self-expression but also a thoughtful, long-term investment. For those who appreciate the beautiful things in life and have a meaningful relationship with what they wear - because a well-chosen piece of clothing has a meaning and a story of its own.
