From engineering in Switzerland to merino wool in Bulgaria

Mariana Barakchieva, who graduated in journalism and software engineering, lived for some years in Switzerland where she had a decent job, but decided to return to Bulgaria to do something completely different.

She returned to Smolyan, in the Rhodope Mountains, and founded Nanka Creative to produce merino wool clothing.
