On top of every street fashion and seasonal pieces with an expiration date, a woman always returns to those eternal favorites of her wardrobe whose design transcends time and place.

Are you also one of those women? If so, we wish you a warm welcome to our little world.

WHO IS MIHAELA MARKOVIC? Mihaela's dreams began long ago, falling asleep in the cradle with the sound of a sewing machine needle. Within the earliest days, there is a love for materials and textures, a little later for aesthetics and attractive combinations, and finally, in the formative age, the young mind is educated for its mission in life. For design and fashion. For imagination and creation.

After finishing her education at the Istituto Marangoni in Milan and completing an MA in knitwear design at Nottingham Trent University, her real journey just began. She starts Studio Markovic, her little atelier, with the idea of creating something new and different. Something beyond the age, season, and stature. Something that a woman will appreciate the way she wants to be appreciated.

WHAT DOES STUDIO MARKOVIC STAND FOR? Slow fashion, uniqueness, high-quality materials, and a little bit of quirkiness. How does it sound to you? Do those big words cause fear and a little bit of mistrust? We feel you. Today's world of big words has disappointed us so many times. But the goal is not to give in under the first load. Or second, third, and any other one. Our approach to "slow fashion" is the desire to bring customers a new way of thinking about their clothes, actions, and decision-making in general.

Every idea that is born goes through a process of imagination and research, and then design, which is based on our commitment to longevity. All fabrics – whether lambswool, merino, or silk – come from certified and sustainable sources. These natural, high-quality materials not only make our clothes age beautifully, but they are also highly versatile and can be adapted to suit any shape, season, or desired occasion.

But along with our love for the classics, we have a little thing for quirkiness in style. Just for those days when you need something different, when you want to jump out from a rut, and get something new out of the day. For such occasions, our pieces go along. Almost all of our cardigans can be turned upside down and worn both ways. As well as many other items which give us more than one piece of clothing. More than a single design. They are ment to change our perspective.

THE STORY OF FRIENDSHIP AND COLLABORATION As our roots originated in Bosnia, we are in close contact with women's associations from Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina who make our Artisanal Collection. They are at the very heart of our Studio and our goal is to provide them with a fair and stable income and a solid base for the future. We spend a lot of time living and working with them, perfecting the techniques and patterns for our design and producing quality handmade items that you will cherish for years.
