'Unikke Design' is a small boutique in the heart of Krakow's Jewish District - Kazimierz. The owners - Olga and Grzesiek - make sure everything is produced locally. They design and make jewelry themselves in their Krakow workshop, and if need be, they work with Cracovian craftsmen.
When it comes to designs themselves, there's something for everyone - from subtle, fluid-like 'Liquid' collection to bold, geometric 3D-printed shapes. I guess the most eye-catching is their very first collection called 'Better Wear Than Use', made from real, actual bullets.
On top of that, 'Unikke Design' works with other Polish designers and promotes them at the store at Józefa St. Amongst those, my absolute favorites - stunningly beautiful, nature-inspired jewellery by Dorota Kos and award-winning, famous for her female body-inspired 'Feminin' collection, Kopi.
So, If you're wondering what might you bring from Krakow or you are searching for a perfect gift for someone (or yourself!), why not consider getting something unique?
