About the brand

“Price is forgotten; quality and style remain…”

In 1997 Natalia Nikolaieva started a family business in which she was both the designer and the tailor. Her key piece — “dress number one” — made her work known across the city, and with it came a crowd of workshops copying her style. To protect the quality of garments made by hand, and to set them apart from the copies, Natalia founded her own fashion house. It took her maiden name and became a byword for style and femininity. That is how the Natali Bolgar brand began.

In October 2002 the first single-brand boutique opened in Odesa. What customers said back confirmed the principle Natalia had chosen: “A woman should always remain one, whatever the circumstances…”. The same year the brand took its new logo — a butterfly, the sign of transformation.

Between 2002 and 2006 the brand changed: alongside the main line of classic suits came lines for building a wardrobe both for everyday life and for special occasions.

Taking part in the seasonal shows at Trade Mark Defile within Ukrainian Fashion Week and at Volvo Fashion Week from 2006 to 2011 made the company a full member of the Ukrainian fashion industry. It also raised what we ask of a collection — in design, and in the standards of fit and manufacturing quality.
