Croatian design spotlight – Herman design

Told you I would talk about bags again. Well, this time it’s not only bags. 😉 I love these bracelets/watches as well.

I follow Herman site on Facebook and these are just a little  of the amazingly wonderful and creative things you can find there. (so go check it out, the designs are really cool)

Croatian design spotlight – Mucca

Yes, I am aware most of my spotlight posts revolve around bags. (And I used to think I wasn’t a bag/shoe type of woman…) 🙂

I am very happy to be able to select bags from such a great pool of beautiful designs (there will be more bag posts).

Anyway, Mucca has a site in English so you can read about them more. Their bags are all about simplicity and there aren’t that many colors and designs to choose from but as I enjoy simple lines, I really like them.

Here are some pictures of bags I like, taken from their Facebook profile:

The only thing I don’t like that much – the price. But can’t say it was a surprise.

Croatian design spotlight – Nohaa

This week we’re back to bags. 🙂 What can I say, I didn’t realize I was such a fan until I started checking out different designers on facebook. 🙂

So this week it’s Nohaa, the bags that really fit my style of look and of life.

The duo behind this line are two friends Ivica Nola i Rijana Hadžić and from experience, they seem to be doing some good business as the waiting ling for a bag is several weeks. 🙂 It makes me happy to know that someone is succeeding in Croatia doing what they love, even though I end up waiting too.

I am now the proud owner of two of them. 🙂

Croatian design spotlight – Danijela Bilic

I know it’s been long since I wrote a post and I am really working on getting my schedule in order so I can write (and smell) more often.
In the meantime, I want to share with you some of the Croatian designers I discovered in the last months (some even years) that I think do a wonderful job with addition that their stuff is actually affordable to most people.
I also admire them for the fact that they decided to follow their passion. I sometimes wonder if something is wrong with me that I have general interests but don’t feel so passionate about any of them (I’m blaming it all on being an Aquarius).

So today, my first choice is Danijela Bilic who creates absolutely wonderful bags. Her designs can be found on Facebook and I am posting some of my favorite designs here (those among which I cannot decide). 🙂

The idea behind the bags is to wear a little piece of art and well, I can completely see that. The size of most of the bags is around 30 cm in diameter and they are made of artificial leather. The size seems perfect and all bags are handmade by Danijela herself.

The whole idea started with Danijela making a bag for her sister (that’s what she wrote in one of the posts on Facebook) and after receiving great feedback, a collection started to form. All this happened some 4 years ago and I’m ashamed to admit that I only found out about the bags a month ago. 🙂

Well, better late than never. 😉

So, go check out her whole collection and see if you could decide which one you like the best.

 

P.S.I love the look of Twilight but for a change, I’d like a bag that isn’t black so now I’m having a hard time deciding which color to choose.

There is time until my birthday yet… 😉
