since 2021 : Danish Design with a Playful Soul

Founded in 2021 in the coastal town of Ebeltoft, Denmark, Bongusta is a family-driven brand led by June, with her background in fashion, and Søren, whose sensibility lies in interiors. Together, they fuse their disciplines to create products that are equal parts playful and purposeful.

The brand’s creative spark was kindled during travels in India, where they encountered artisans working with profound respect for generational craftsmanship. Those encounters evolved into long-term collaborations that continue to shape Bongusta’s artistry and ethical intent to this day.

Timelessness, Play, and Sustainability

At the heart of Bongusta lies a commitment to colorful, long-lasting essentials that elevate daily rituals, whether through a bold towel, a statement rug, or a striped tote bag.

Unlike trend-driven brands, Bongusta embraces a “never-retired” collection policy: even the earliest designs remain in production, minimizing waste while keeping beloved colors alive.

Their sustainability journey is equally intentional, progressing from OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification to “Made in Green” in 2024, and most recently, achieving GOTS certification in April 2025. Even the packaging is considered, featuring FSC-certified cardboard and recycled LDPE bags. Additionally, 95% of shipments are sent by sea, which helps reduce emissions.

Handcrafted Collection & Signature Pieces

Bongusta’s range celebrates both craft and comfort. Their Naram Towels, woven from combed, double-thread cotton at 600 g/m², deliver plush absorbency and enduring softness, made in facilities that meet the highest ethical and environmental standards.

Rugs such as the Chindi and Pyramid series showcase artisanal techniques, from handweaving to hand-tufting, often using undyed cotton or wool blends colored with azo-free dyes.

Beyond homeware, Bongusta extends its design language into ready-to-wear and accessories, with striped totes, weekenders, and relaxed apparel mirroring the brand’s home collections in bold, recognizable patterns.

Aesthetic Language & Visual Identity

If most Nordic design leans toward minimalism, Bongusta rebels with joyful color and tactile contrasts. Lilac paired with neon yellow, or soft cream cut with fine ink stripes, defines a palette that is both striking and versatile. Texture and pattern take center stage, creating a playful, artful identity that transforms everyday essentials into design statements.

Impact, Craft Ethics & Storytelling

Bongusta’s strength lies not only in design but also in ethics and narrative. Each rug and towel is handcrafted in India, ensuring that cultural heritage and artisan skill are celebrated in every product. Their environmental responsibility extends beyond certifications to practical choices, such as sea shipping and recyclable packaging. And woven through it all is storytelling: bold palettes, tactile comfort, and deep artisan connections create products that are not just useful, but emotionally resonant.
