Welcome to Zagreb and thank you for picking up this publication. Like every year, the festive season ahead of us makes us pose the same old question, what to get our loved ones? Zagreb has developed a rich and unique offer through the years that is available at your fingertips, enabled by the initiative of many ambitious individuals living their dreams. Beautiful handmade ceramic Christmas baubles, Licitar Heart pendants, lavender dolls in a shape of Santa just to name few. Along with unique fashion and accessories by Croatian designers, or simply food delicacies, you have it all covered, and all is Made in Croatia.

In this issue, you can read three interviews featuring our local artisans. Their shops which serve as well as workshops are located in the beautiful Upper Town and Tkalčićeva Street. Dora Rubić from family-run artisan fashion salon Dora located next to the Stone gate is giving you an insight into her creative business while Dora and Velibor Zoričić from Koza leather workshop are opening the door of their cute shop and workshop filled with colorful leather bags, belts and wallets (located next to the St. Mark’s Square).
