Being a member of the third generation of her family’s candlemaking craft Vatovac and in order to preserve the quality and tradition, she has started a webshop to familiarise customers with personalised collections.

Franka Vatovac Tomičić offers the best and most sought after collections on her webshop: Home candles and decorations, the Zlato Maleno collection and several wedding products. Simple candles with inscriptions such as Home or Love have enthralled customers, whilst you’ll fall in love with the house-shaped candle holder the moment you lay your eyes on it.

She has teamed up with a Croatian weaving shop specialising in making pure wool baby blankets and came up with a one-of-a-kind baby blanket containing a name or a inscription you want. In addition to candles, the Zlato Maleno collection includes fine blankets made from 100% wool, star or deer-shaped baby pillows, while the garlands for kids’ bedroom are just irresistible.

As Franka points out, their customers mostly come back when they’re having a baptism or organising a wedding because craft Vatovac makes unique baptism sets that contain everything needed to make your big day special. Being a creative person running a family business, she has managed to preserve tradition while placing great emphasis on Croatian production in a modern rendition. Having included a Croatian weaving shop and handicraft in her carefully planned out baptism sets, Franka Vatovac Tomičić is the best example of why we definitely shouldn’t disregard old crafts.
