Trebala mi je torba, pa sam odlučila jednu napraviti. Tako je sve krenulo!
Ono što je započelo kao pokušaj da izradim torbu za sebe tijekom studija, preraslo je u trajnu strast — ručnu izradu kožnih torbi koje traju i govore kroz detalje, oblik i suptilni karakter, noseći u sebi odraz onoga što jesam.
Štambuk Design je moj prostor za igru s oblicima, teksturama i materijalima. U mojim kreacijama prirodna koža susreće se s vunenim filcom, pamukom, svilom pa čak i drvom, sve pažljivo oblikovano oko jednostavnosti i ljubavi prema multifunkcionalnosti.
Vjerujem u principe slow fashiona, pa svaki predmet izrađujem ručno, u malim serijama ili kao unikat, s vlastitim karakterom, pričom i svrhom.
Moj stil temelji se na jednostavnosti i funkcionalnosti, s posebnom pažnjom posvećenom obliku. Svaka torba promišljeno je dizajnirana da prilagodi svoj oblik ovisno o onome što nosi — često poprima skulpturalne forme koje se mijenjaju ovisno o načinu nošenja ili sadržaju.
Uz torbe, povremeno izrađujem modne dodatke od kože i filcane predmete koji zadržavaju isti duh pažnje, održivosti i minimalizma. Održivost je prirodan dio mog procesa — recikliram materijale, koristim svaki ostatak i stvaram s namjerom.
Ako vas privlači suptilni dizajn koji govori kroz detalje i materijal — dobrodošli!
Svaka kreacija odjek je unutarnje inspiracije, stvorena da korača s vama.

I needed a bag—so I made one. That’s how it all began!
What started as an attempt to make a bag for myself during university has grown into a lasting passion: creating handmade, fashion-forward leather bags—made to last, designed to speak.
Štambuk Design is my playground of shapes, textures, and materials—where natural leather meets wool felt, cotton, silk, and even wood, all thoughtfully shaped around simplicity and a love for multifunctionality.
I believe in slow fashion principles, so I craft each item by hand, in small series or as a one-of-a-kind piece, with its own character, story, and purpose.
My style is rooted in simplicity and functionality, with special attention given to form. Each bag is thoughtfully designed to adapt its shape depending on what it carries, often evolving into sculptural forms that shift and adapt depending on how the bag is worn or what it carries.
In addition to bags, I occasionally create leather accessories and felt objects that carry the same spirit of attention, sustainability, and minimalism. Sustainability is a natural part of my process—I upcycle materials, use every leftover piece, and create with intention.
If you’re drawn to quiet design that speaks through detail and material, welcome!
Each creation is an echo of inner inspiration, meant to live with you.
