At Isola, we celebrate differences, rather than moving forward just for consistency's sake. From subtle differences in products created by hand to the artisans and their unique approach on making them - we draw no lines. A beginner or an established maker, we really don't care - if the work resonates, we want it. And that's what keeps us going - the pursuit for beautiful, imperfect objects, made with that human stamp on it.

So when we reached out to Igor from , an artisan with over 20 years of experience in making pottery, it was intentional. Igor is the most sought-after master potter in Croatia, best known for making plates for Michelin star restaurants. Despite the demand, Igor still works alone out of his home studio in Sveta Nedelja, immersed in the process and the beauty of working with his own two hands. We worked together and created a small line of cups, plates and bowls, welcoming all the nuances from one piece to another. Each item is made using stoneware clay, on a pottery wheel, no moulds, entirely by hand. Available at Isola exclusively.

Each Isola tie and bow tie is hand cut and hand sewn in our small production studio in Hvar, Croatia. This is what we started with - making ties is at the heart of our business. Our line of products has grown slowly over years but one thing stayed the same - we're still making all of them in-house, one at a time.⁠

Small, local and meaningful - our collaboration with Stela ticks all the right boxes and it's a blueprint on how we're moving forward by teaming up with local artisans to bring you better products and create better experiences. ⁠
This special line of coffee cups was designed from scratch and made by hand on a pottery wheel at Stela's home studio in Zagreb, Croatia. Available exclusively at Isola.⁠

A special line of coffee cups created together with Stela .
Our journey to the final design lasted for six months and taught us one important lesson - working with clay is such an unpredictable affair. Many sketches and samples, calls and emails were all part of the process, and by the time we made our first batch of cups, a new beautiful friendship with Stela happened as well.
We selected three types of clay and two glazes which fit both Isola and Hvar island vibe perfectly. Stela designed and made each cup on a pottery wheel in her home studio in Zagreb, Croatia.
Find them all exclusively at Isola.

Back in March 2017, this space was just an old, lightless small apartment tucked away in the oldest part of Hvar town, in an alley mostly used by locals.
We did a complete space makeover and set up the store in a diy way. Those early days were all just a beautiful mess. But here we are in 2019, heading into our third year & looking back with nothing but smiles.
We're incredibly thankful to all wonderful people who help make this store tick since day one - our two super talented ceramicists Tea & Karolina , jewelry makers Andrea & Jelena , our wonderful Ranka (do not miss her shop on your Zagreb trip) and dear Suncana & Lara .
Together, we let the light inside this small space, each of us adding its flair to make this store a bit more special.

New beginnings! With the effort of beautiful, hardworking and crazy talented people across Croatia, together we've created an oasis of locally made, small batch items that are so hard to find these days.
Staying local lies at the heart of this store and going into our third year, we'll continue to be as local as possible in producing and sourcing wonderful Croatian products that celebrate values of hand made and artisan know-how.

The store will keep showcasing a range of Isola products hand made locally in Hvar together with awesome, design-led items by Croatian artisans. Big shoutout goes to our makers coming from Split, P**a & Zagreb, but also from small Croatian towns of Samobor, Zrnovnica, Bribir, Ivanic Grad & Sv Ivan Zelina, who are as passionate as we are in perfecting their craft and producing quality, truly hand made items.
It's been a fun ride so far. Let's try and make it better in 2019.
