Every pair of shoes is special. Nataša Trinajstić explains that the shoemaking process is specific and demanding and adds that people are still willing to pay more to get their hands on a unique pair of shoes. Customers can choose the colour and shape of the mould. Craft Zvonimir is famous for their boots, flats and custom-made Oxford shoes. Women’s shoes are available up to shoe size 45 and they’re often hired to work for TV shows and theatres.
In addition a shoemaker employed in the shop, Nataša gets a lot of help from her mother and father. She’s very humble when talking about a great deal of celebrities who are big fans of their shoes. Unlike mass shoe production, unique shoes are not cheap, but this hasn’t prevented Nataša Trinajstić and her classic shoes from finding their way to customers. Aside from steady domestic customers who always come back for more, there’s an increase in foreign tourists who just love their boots.
