My name is Marina, but when we are in the world of thread and fabrics, you can call me Mare.
I studied mathematics and mechanical engineering, but somehow I have found myself working in completely different fields.
I have been drawing and sewing longer than I can remember. Photography is another of my passions as is gardening which both relaxes and stimulates me. Sometimes I hug trees, sometimes I do environmental volunteer work, most often I avoid highways and whenever I have a chance, I take a nap on warm rocks next to the sea.
I am passionate about crafts and all that is hand made. For me, hand made things are not only objects – they give me someone else’s view of the world and I feel the care, respect and love their makers have incorporated into them.
I have got an urge to create. Inspiration comes from everywhere – the nature, my thoughts and feelings, sometimes the fabrics themselves. Transferring an idea into something tangible can consume me so much that I forget about the time. The moment of holding the result in my hands is a moment of great joy.
All the items on this site are my own designs and made by me, drawn, cut and sewn on my kitchen table. Because they are hand crafted, they are all unique, even when made in limited editions, no two are exactly alike.
I believe that quality should always come first and I make sure of this in the things I make. I have a high regard for natural materials and just love the way they feel under my fingers, so I mostly work with them.
Most of all, I love designing and making handbags. I appreciate practical and versatile things and I am intrigued by a concept of a handbag that meets all everyday needs, but has its own character or tells a story.
I am making things that I love and I hope I am able to transfer some of that good feeling to others through them.
Please feel free to comment on my work, I would like to hear from you.
Moje je ime Marina, ali kada smo u svijetu tkanina i konaca, možete me zvati Mare.
Učila sam matematiku i studirala strojarstvo, no nekako sam se našla radeći u sasvim drugim područjima.
Otkako znam za sebe crtam i šivam. Fotografija je jedna od mojih strasti. Vrtlarstvo me opušta i uzbuđuje. Ponekad grlim drveće, ponekad volonterski radim za okoliš, najčešće izbjegavam autoceste i kada god imam priliku, volim odrijemati na toploj stijeni pored mora.
Strastveno cijenim rukotvorine. Za mene, rukom rađene stvari nisu samo stvari – pružaju mi pogled na svijet koji ima netko drugi i osjećam pažnju, poštovanje i ljubav koju su njihovi stvaraoci ugradili u njih.
Imam snažnu potrebu stvarati. Inspiracija dolazi odasvud – iz prirode, mojih misli i osjećaja, ponekad tkanina samih. Prebacivanje ideje u opipljivo ponekad me toliko obuzme da zaboravim na vrijeme. Trenutak kada konačno držim rezultat u svojim rukama je trenutak velikog užitka.
Sve stvari na ovim stranicama su moj vlastiti dizajn i moj rad – nacrtala sam ih, skrojila i sašila na svom kuhinjskom stolu. Budući da su rađene rukom, sve su jedinstvene, čak i kada su napravljene u malim serijama, dvije nisu iste.
Vjerujem da je kvaliteta preduvjet svake upotrebne i lijepe stvari, te se trudim da je tako u svemu što radim. Cijenim prirodne materijale i volim njihov osjećaj pod prstima, stoga radim uglavnom s njima.
Najviše pak volim dizajnirati i raditi torbice. Cijenim praktičnost i mogućnost više namjena i intrigira me koncept torbice koja zadovoljava sve svakodnevne potrebe i ima vlastiti karakter ili priča priču.
Radim stvarčice koje volim i nadam se da sam u mogućnosti kroz njih prenijeti nešto tog dobrog osjećaja drugima.
Pozivam vas da komentirate moj rad, voljela bih čuti vaše dojmove.
