Follow your dreams
and Be YOUR Version!

It is a pleasure that Moristotle invited me here to share the mission of B. Version with the diverse and open-minded audience of Moristotle and Co.! Let us go on this journey together!

B. Version is a brand for people who are not afraid to live by their own rules and BE their VERSION of life. Each design has a message that inspires you to follow your own path and values.
    For example, the latest collection of Satin Square Scarves for Women includes four designs, with messages for independent women:
  • “Choose the Direction,” 
  • “Not a Parrot (I am different),” 
  • “Out of the Cage” (as in “Think outside of the box”), and
  • “Revolutionary Blood.”
Choose the Direction

87 x 87cm (34 x 34")

Out of the Cage
Satin Square Scarf,

    Each product at B. Version goes through a painstaking process of evaluating the quality of the materials used and choosing the most suitable material and the best supplier.
    The collection of satin square scarves, for example, is made from a material as soft as silk, but much less wrinkly and easier to wash.
    The silk for the silk pillowcases was specifically selected to ensure the best experience for sleeping, skin care against wrinkles, and preventing tangled hair. I personally analyze and evaluate the materials to ensure that the quality promised will be the quality delivered. I want to know that my customers will receive the correct density of silk and that no leaching of colors will occur. Each silk pillowcase is queen size, handmade in Bulgaria, and currently on sale, at a very good discount considering the high quality of the materials.

The inspirations for all of the collections featured on Be Your Version come from Bulgarian folk art and are modern interpretations of forgotten beauties. The symbols might remind you of American Indian rugs, but oddly enough the same symbols appear in Balkan textiles and apparently originated in prehistoric times.
    These symbols’ original meanings have been lost over time. It is up to YOU to interpret the designs according to
your values and your version of life.
    Among past collections were four designs of handmade hypoallergenic blankets and handmade silk neckties with fine Italian interlining. All were handmade by local craftswomen in Bulgaria.
