Studio78 Zagreb
Creative girl power
Zagreb has recently seen a vibrant resurgence of artisanal shops offering handcrafted items made with passion and dedication. Artisanal fairs are now held several times a month, drawing craft enthusiasts eager for unique, high-quality products. While in the city center you’ll easily find many design and gift shops, I’d like to highlight one charming showroom tucked away from the usual tourist routes — a space showcasing the work of talented local artisans, all of them women.
This off-the-beaten-path location means that your purchase directly supports the artisans rather than going toward high rents or high shop-owner margins common in the city center. Unusual jewelry, unique clothing pieces, paintings, botanical decorations, bags, and ceramics — each crafted with care and creativity - are some of the exquisite goodies you can buy here.
Sometimes, artisans themselves are working in the showroom as sellers so if you come in the right moment, they can explain you the creation process and stories behind the products. Some items even display the number of hours invested in their creation — a powerful reminder of the time and skill behind every object, challenging the tyranny of fast-paced production so typical of our modern society.
Whether you’re shopping for a thoughtful gift or a special treat for yourself, this showroom offers an experience that’s both personal and supportive of local artistry and talent.
