The creative shoemaking shop Valek has been successfully doing business in Ilica Street, Zagreb, previously bringing joy to adults and today to the little ones. The Valek Shoes story begins back in 1963, when Valentin Tkalčec opened a shoemaking shop and named it after his childhood nickname
In 1991, after years of training and dedicated work, Anita Zannotti Štulec started her own business, A shoo, specializing in the making of high quality handmade shoes.
