Made in Bulgaria: You May Be Surprised

Ranked #1,512 in Travel & Places, #56,397 overall

What is made in Bulgaria -- it's Lalo Orna artisan jewelry, some recognizable designer brands, and some unique finds!

Welcome everyone to Made in Bulgaria! It is amazing the calibre of designers who have their goods produced in Bulgaria. You may have already heard about Lalo Orna artisan jewelry, but did you realize that such designers as Karl Lagerfeld and Perry Ellis would have their designs made in Bulgaria?

I've been researching items made in Bulgaria for a few years and find it interesting that even Tommy Hilfiger has had items made in Bulgaria. In this lens, you may be surprised at who else is on this list!

By the way, the significance of this page to Squidoo lensmasters? Oh, simple! This is one of my first instances of writing in a series of related topics! In March 2006 I initiated the "Made in" series of lenses to celebrate all that is Eastern European. I initially wrote about Made in Hungary and Made in Romania to celebrate my Eastern European heritage.

Welcome to Made in Bulgaria -- Francesco Biasia, Karl Lagerfeld, Lacoste and Perry Ellis! I hope you enjoy your visit today. Thanks for dropping by.

Men's designer clothing items that are "made in Bulgaria"

Geronimo men's underwear & swimwear that's "made in Bulgaria" is definitely the UNEXPECTED!

Undoubtedly, the ONE brand that is "made in Bulgaria" and the most abundant in my eBay search is GERONIMO!!! It's also a bit unexpected.

Since 1995 Geronimo Ltd has taken advantage of the Eastern European culture and fashion. Based in Bulgaria, the company has specialized in the design and production of high quality European style men's underwear and swimwear. The collection varies from simple and sporty to sexy and luxurious designs. Each collection is born from the necessity to reevaluate a product which fully respects the physiological and natural demands of a man.
