That’s why more and more people opt for small crafts knowing full well that not only will their handmade bag be produced from quality and durable materials will last for years, but that it will be made to cater to their specific needs.

Most artisans will be more than glad to take your suggestions into account and make a bag that fits your taste and needs. No chain store can give you such a combination of quality, durability and unique design.

Tomislav Petrović is the owner of KoArt, a small craft like the ones we just mentioned. The materials they use include leather, artificial leather, eco leather, rep, and all kinds of textile fabrics. Their offer includes all kinds of bags, purses and backpacks.  As they point out themselves, the willingness to do custom-made orders is KoArt’s biggest characteristic. If need be, they offer customers the full service, from the idea to the finished product. Everyone will find something to their liking. It could be a linen book bag or a sturdy leather backpack that will easily take any weight.

Forget about your old briefcase because book keepers are the new must-have for businessmen who want to be taken seriously! Book keepers are the most popular products from Vuk Leather’s luxury offer. These are business folders that have a compartment for your tablet, planner and pen on the inside. All of us are nowadays expected to constantly be online and available. Your book keeper will be your reliable companion as your navigate through your busy day. Reduce the stress of your hectic everyday schedule by knowing that you’ll always be organised because your electronic companion is keeping track of your every meeting. Aside from being practical, book keepers are available in a wide range of colours and will make even the gloomiest autumn day more livelier.

Whereas book keepers are the new runaway hit, clutch purses have been in the fashion mainstream for a couple of years now. Indeed, they haven’t passed the test of time for no reason and turned into classic item every woman should have. They’re practical, modern and so easy to combine. A unique clutch purse with an impressive design will make every outfit look better. They can have an uninhibited and provocative design, which is the signature design of Hippy Garden, or they can be somewhat decent with traditional elements like the ones made by Ethno boutique Mara. Clutch purses are ideal for a night out in the town as they’re large enough to contain your lipstick and wallet, yet small enough to leave your busy lifestyle at home.
