Elfenbein Kft. - Elfenbein Kft.

Well.... what an amazing place. It was a bit of a weird place to find, a strange doorway nestled between a normal row of shops. A buzzer to get in, and a very old and well used wooden stairway down into a cellar. I know it sounds weird, but it had a smell of tradition and quality about it. You instantly understood the history of the place. The family who run this company are truly passionate about what they produce, and their family history... they spent ages with me, explaining the different downs, the benefits of each pillow construction and they even got me to lay my head on them to assess the perfect pillow for me. They then made my perfect Hungarian goose down pillow! right then and there, they even let me film the whole process. I ended up getting pillows for the whole family and even some for friends, as they were also very well priced. You cannot come to Budapest without visiting here, they have a wall of photos of all the film stars and famous people who visit and buy from them. They are so humble and so friendly. I left feeling I had found friends who I could contact whenever I need bedding, and I know they will understand EXACTLY what I want. They will even ship it free to my home in the UK. Thank you so much for such a great experience. Five stars all day long !!!!

The place is interesting. I was asking for a specific size of comforter, since it was not available they managed to make it for me in hour. They are very profesional and open to every request. I would say that rarely I found such a good service. I'm not an expert of comforters but the quality seems to me really good. I'm satisfy and I defenitly recomand them.

Fantastic experience buying new pillows. Was greeted warmly by the owner who spoke perfect English. He showed me how they make their pillows including how the machines work. I was able to try all their pillows before choosing the one I wanted. I was told that within 2 weeks I could take it back and get more stuffing inside the pillow if it wasn't big enough. I took him up on the offer and now I have the perfect pillow. They have a wall in their store with photos, businey cards etc from their customers, including many famous people. 5star product and 5star customer service.

Best place to buy duvet in Budapest. Very friendly service and excellent quality duvets. Highly recommended

There was a time when it seemed that every city had at its core a large community of real experts, makers of all sorts of material things - furniture, food, fabrics, jewellery... They knew everything there was to know about their work and this gave them a particular kind of self respect and dignity. I felt fortunate in these encounters. They are rather rare now but today I once more felt that thrill face to face with THE REAL THING! Tamas Szanto and his family run this business many generations old , the tasks shared between them. They still occupy the same old basement with the most rickety staircase ever seen. Everything is still made by hand. Feathers, exquisite Hungarian goose down to be precise, still the finest in the world, take to the air in flurries with every step and settle again on every surface, in our hair, on our clothes. This is a real workshop, a place of knowledge and skill and the last word in comfort results All this and it's affordable! Paradise

I echo the reviews of others, this place is a gem, everything about the experience was special, not to mention the wonderful comforter and pillows I took home with me from Hungary. Tamas explained the options very clearly and transparently, along with the prices, which are very fair and reasonable considering the quality and workmanship. It’s comforting to pay for something and know that it’s going towards high-quality materials and labor, rather than for a marketing and distribution budget and/or overhead of a large corporation. I hope that we return somewhat to a time where people are more concerned about the origins and quality of not just their food but other items we consume and buy.

We had found this shop 15 years ago and I bought myself a pillow and have been planning to go back ever since. We finally did this month and I bought little pillows for my 4 grandchildren which they love because they are so soft (goose down of course), squish down and then puff up. Grandma brings different presents! Plus I bought us new "sandwich" pillows and they are great too! The shop is still very original, definitely artesanal and the family who run it are delightful, very professional and authentic. We asked to have all sent at a later date so we would be home and they arrived puntually on that date and well packaged!! A delightful shopping experience for anyone. I am hoping to go back, to visit the shop again and to visit Budapest, a truly lovely city.

It is such a wonderful experience being in this place. Every aspect is worth mentioning. Our duvet is great. The people working there are very polite, helpful and professional. They know very well what they are doing, but they also understand your needs. They speak English and communication was fast. The best part was seeing all those feathers and machines they use to make the duvets. My husband and me decided that wherever we are in the world in the future, we will buy our bed products from this shop :) however, if you are in Hungary, don't miss the opportunity to go there in person! In the photo you can see my hapiness after leaving the workshop with my duvet. Even though I must say that our visit also made me feel a bit melancholic about the rising of IKEA. All in all: an experience that makes you feel and think.
