Shopping Design & Fashion in Zagreb, Croatia

Posted on August 5, 2013 | Leave a comment

During my single day in Zagreb,

I chose these shops in the city center which offer either creations of Croatian designers or iconic products that have conquered the world, as the tie, Gentlemen! I started to work in menswear (lol)! In short, no need to come shopping in Zagreb, to spin at the same global brands you can find at home!!

1. Modus

An accessory shop for home design. Mix of international brands and Croatian designers. I liked the tote bags (first picture): very cool souvenirs to bring as gifts. The picture 2 shows the Zagreb Design Week poster … Tkalčićeva 48, zagreb. Tel : +385 14 81 3470.

2. Maks Studio

Must do. In a light intimate courtyard, Macks Studio, the store and showroom of the Croatian designer Saša Maksimiljanović offers loose clothing with asymmetrical lines and as accessories some tribal-inspired jewelery. Teslina 9 (u dvoristu), 10000 Zagreb. Tel : +385 48 10 606.

3. Boudoir

Intrigued by this dress on display (photo 1), I discovered the Boudoir, the store of the binoculars fashion designers, Morana Saračević et Martina Čičko Karapetric. Dresses of princesses for more evening than day and a selection of hats. Radićeva 25. Telefon: +385 1 48-13-464.

4. Folk Trend

I don’t have a particular shop or market. I’ve just liked a lot the traditional embroidered blouses. I didn’t had time to find a shop with homemade blouses and gowns made in Croatia. If you know some, send me an email or leave a comment.

5. Croata

In an old gallery in central Zagreb (picture 1), I discovered the origin of the tie at the Salon Croata. When the Croatian Light Cavalry went to Paris during the Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648), soldiers “used to tie lively-coloured scarves around their necks in a certain way”. And during the reign of Louis XIV, Parisians really enjoyed this new fashion accessory “in the Croatian way”. Subsequently, as you know, the cravat has become global ; ) Ilica 5 (Oktogon). Tel : +385 (1) 4812-726.

Dubai For 48 Hours: Around The Deira Gold Souk

Posted on January 19, 2013 | Leave a comment

Quite far from Jumeirah Beach, I wanted more to discover around the Deira Gold Souk (the gold souk, pictures 1, 2 & 3) than the souk itself, in operation since the 40’s. Not very exciting, I love jewelry but not yellow gold! It would have 10 tons of gold in the souk. Okay. So after an express stop to the famous Mall of the Emirates (post to come), the taxi stops me in Sikkat Al-Khail Road in the Deira district, at the entrance to the souk. Most of the shops are closed and empty of tourists groups. Great. And I go to the docks where there are authentic colorful dhows (Arab traditional boats). Indian and Iranian crews load and unload goods (picture 4). Long walk on foot, followed by a short shuttle boat ride to Dubai Heritage. Along the way, I stumbled upon the Museum of Women (picture 5): Too late for a visit.
