If you want to be original and attractive when expressing your own personality but also socially responsible, you should buy from the local artisans in Zagreb instead of the large chain stores. Items such as clothes, shoes, jewellery, purses, hats, flowers or home decor may all be found here. You will be unique, as well as supporting and sustaining craftsmen who are often great artists.

Some of the necessary products during spring and fall are umbrellas and raincoats. Most people buy cheap umbrellas and raincoats that are usually short lived, so instead of wasting money and increasing the amount of rubbish that we throw away, we can avoid all of these problems by purchasing quality products that will last for years and even for decades. In addition, people will admire your unique sense of style as well as the original designs. Such umbrellas and raincoats can be found in Cerovečki craft. Their most famous product is the Šestine umbrella which in time has become a trademark of Zagreb. All umbrellas are made of polyester, satin, cotton-polyester and pure cotton. Handles and accessories are made by solid chestnut and bamboo sticks, as well as impregnated threads and rust-proof metal wires. They have also recently won the prize for the beautiful Raindrop raincoat, which they made in collaboration with the designer Ana Rimac.

Go to Hippy Garden if you want to refresh your wardrobe or give an authentic Croatian souvenir to a loved one. While part of the production is batched in large volumes, the inspiration and ideas are all uniquely based on the customers’ wishes. The owner, Đurđica Vorkapić, lives the fashion. She is inspired daily from everything that surrounds her and is open to all ideas. The unique creations of Hippy Garden are original Croatian products, and the entire story about local production has been rounded off by the collection of souvenirs “From Croatia with Love” focused on women’s clothing.

Decorate your terrace or garden this spring with a unique stool or other piece of wrought iron furniture or refresh your interior with a unique lamp. Come to Arteferrum, a small workshop with a great sense of artistic iron forging, where items of different styles are made. Igor Panković, the owner of crafts, has been producing fences, beds, lamps, chandeliers, doors, art locks, candlesticks and various interior and exterior decorating objects.
