COVER STORY The cover motif is a sculpture of a young Romani woman, the work of academic sculptor Marin Marinić, located in the November 5th Park at the intersection of Savska and Koturaška streets. The date November 5th is the International Day of the Romani Language, and in the park of the same name, a sculpture of a young Romani woman dancing with a pen in her hand stands against the prejudices about the Romani community. This is the first monument to Romani women and Romani literacy in our region, although the people have been present in Croatia for almost 700 years. This strong female figure, a young and courageous Romani woman, symbolizes her right to choose and to receive education, fighting against discrimination and intolerance.

A STORY OF CLOUDS AND TREES IN THESE interviews we present katarina radnić zmazek for cloud&co. jewelry and matija prša, jewelry designer for lili's contemporary art gallery
see for yourself! This year we opened another shop in beautiful Dubrovnik (Boškovićeva 2/ Ulica od Buže), so if you are planning to visit Dubrovnik, you might as well stop by our shop over there.
CLOUD&CO. JEWELRY, KATARINA RADNIĆ ZMAZEK How would you describe your brand and your store? What can we find in your cloud zone? Our brand store is a unique place in the center of Zagreb, a jewelry shop, filled with colorful handcrafted jewelry, inspired by elements in the sky, mainly clouds. Our jewelry is special because we offer our customers the opportunity to create their own combination of earrings, or they can decide whether they want to wear a necklace as a bracelet or as a necklace, and it is this playfulness that makes Cloud&Co. a well visited place for gift hunting for your loved ones. Our most popular item is the Invisible cloud necklace. It is a subtle but very impressive piece of jewelry that has a combination of different small pendants on an invisible necklace. I definitely recommend you to come and 12

What can you tell us about your latest collection? Where does your inspiration come from? All of our collections are inspired by the sky and elements in the sky. Just like the universe itself the options and combinations are infinite. This time, fascinated by the sizes of planets and stars in constellations, we created another collection that you can layer into beautiful accessories for both daily and evening style. As always, our motto is “Never take off jewelry”. We hope you will wear our jewelry forever or better say you will never feel like taking it off. How is it to be an entrepreneur today? What motivates you? It is hard, but worth it. I wanted to create a job that I would enjoy, a work place for me and my coworkers where we can decide what we do, work out of love and I believe that it shows, because we grow each year, we always do something new, we get involved in interesting projects and I feel like people can recognize that personal touch that we give. Success and great ideas motivate me. And we have so much more to do!
LILI'S GALLERY, MATIJA PRŠA How did your brand Lili’s handmade & unique come to its existence? I've always loved working with my hands and creating. Wood is my favorite and most attractive material and so little by little I started experimenting and making jewelry primarily for my wife. The colors, shapes and scents of nature, especially wood, are my main inspiration. When I see the beauty of a tree, I get an idea of how to shape the wood so that its beauty comes to its full expression. Seeing the jewelry by chance, one gallerist convinced us that the jewelry was special and persuaded us to display it in their shop. That's how it started. The jewelry was named Lili's after our then three-year-old girl. What can we find in your jewelry & home decor offer? In our gallery you can find attractive jewelry of modern design which is also a kind of wearable art. The jewelry is handmade in a combination of wood with epoxy resin and each piece is unique. You can also find charming decorative as well as functional household items, such as vases, serving boards and clocks all made of solid wood with a strong emphasis on recycling. Can you describe in more detail the process of making your jewelry? The process begins with designing and sketching the shape, appearance and materials of each piece of jewelry. In addition to the basic material of wood, I also use rubber, brass or steel, and gold. In the same way, the process of making other objects begins, with my inspiration coming from unusual pieces of wood themselves.
Overall, I process each piece by hand up to 15 times. The process begins by pouring resin over interesting pieces of wood. Resin can be mixed with paint, gold, silver and after at least 24 hours of drying begins processing through several types of sanding and polishing to achieve the desired shape. I polish the resin to a crystal shine and transparency, and in that, as well as in the shape of the jewelry or object itself, this uniqueness and top handicraft is brought to light. What does it mean for you to be a craftsman and an artist in this time? Becoming a craftsman and opening a gallery through selffinancing was not easy. But thanks to family and friends who believe in us, we were able to overcome the first step. Being an artist is a gift that a man, when he discovers it in himself, must not suppress, but should nurture, let it develop, fly and enjoy it. It is not easy today, I think it has never been, nor will it be easy for those who aspire to be artists, but it is a wonderful, creative life and as such it should be embraced and one should be thankful for that gift.

A GUIDE FOR HAPPY SHOPPING
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN SHOPPING IN ZAGREB! CROATIAN CURRENCY is the CROATIAN KUNA (HRK) In stores, bars, restaurants you can pay ONLY in Kuna. 1 euro = approx. 7.5 kuna; 1 US dollar = approx. 7.0 kuna CROATIAN VAT (PDV) is 25% and is included in retail price. TAX FREE SHOPPING If you spend more than 740,01 kn in a shop, ask for the Tax Free Form available in stores carrying the Tax Free label. CREDIT CARDS are accepted in all stores presented in the guide. WORKING HOURS Most stores work shorter on Saturdays and many stores are closed on Sundays and National holidays. ATM MACHINES can be found all around city center. The limit you can withdraw in one transaction may vary from 1600 kn to 5000 kn. EXCHANGE OFFICES & BANKS The exchange rates in banks and exchange offices may vary. Exchange offices usually offer better rates than banks. WEB SHOPS/SHIPPING Many brands and stores offer online shopping and worldwide shipping. Please keep in mind that every web shop has individual terms & conditions, as well as shipping policies. RECEIPTS, TAXES AND RETURNS For every purchased item you should get a receipt (keep it, especially if you want to return or exchange purchased items). Return policies may vary. SAFETY Zagreb is a safe city with a very low risk of mugging or violent crime. On the other hand, a large flow of people makes pick-pocketing and petty theft popular. Please keep your valuables safe and use simple precautions to eliminate chances of being pick-pocketed in public transportation and at tourist sites.
SHOPPING TIPS & TRICKS All items in stores should have clearly displayed prices, with VAT (PDV) included, and if the item is on sale it should be marked as such. We are not a culture of bargaining, but some shops offer a discount on cash payments. Keep in mind that sales assistants in Zagreb are not overly assertive in approaching the customer, so do not be shy to ask for any information about the item you are interested in. They will be happy to assist you. 14

Zagreb has a vibrant and lively market culture. You can find farmers’ and flea markets all year around. Farmers’ markets are open every day and for most locals they serve as a great source of fresh meat, fish, veggies and fruits on a daily or weekly basis. Of course, markets are most crowded on Saturdays, which is the most usual day for visiting. Open daily from 6:30am to about 2pm except on National holidays. Besides Dolac, you should not miss Sunday’s weekly Antique fair at the British Square, as well as Hrelić, a massive flea market in Jakuševac situated on the outskirts of the city - where you can get literally anything. Zagreb also offers interesting, small pop-up markets presenting various artists, designers and small manufacturers, giving them a chance to present their work to the wider audience. These markets are great venues to meet designers in person and support small manufacturers. Check our webpage for more info and prior announcements.
