“Šempja”, hand-crocheted bag
A little eccentric, entirely her own and unlike anything else; exactly the way Dalmatians use the word “šempjasta”. She does not try to fit in or follow the rules; she builds her own language with ease, and that is precisely where her charm lies. Her oval form is unlike anything yet seen, not only in Dalmatia but beyond, and she catches the eye at first glance. Made of 100% cotton, she has a firm, well-defined silhouette. She always arrives finished with bows that may be removed; it is they that lend her the playful, characterful note. Spirited, daring and authentic, this bag is a celebration of singularity, because sometimes the loveliest thing is to be a little šempjasta; a little playfully out of the ordinary.
