Traditional knowledge

It takes at least ten actions to create just one Nonna Handmade product

From the initial idea of creating the Nonna collection, which the two sisters share with the design team of applied artists and graduate students of Belgrade faculties of art, to Nonna products in the studio, it takes at least ten operations to create only one Nonna handmade product.

  • Making sketches, model designs, design of conceptual solutions for embroidery, making schemes, selecting of quality basic and accessories material, modeling, construction, manual tailoring, preparation for embroidery, embroidery, crocheting, weaving, sewing, ironing, packaging… 
In order to preserve the uniqueness and artistic expression of embroidered motifs, but also the perfect cut of the product, Nonna takes the best team with academic painters, applied artists, and textile engineers.

The team of top masters of their craft continues their work on the production in order to transform the idea into a contemporary product inspired by traditional costumes or motifs of 19th-century or medieval culture.

Quality Nonna product accompanies the selection of the finest Italian cardboard for packaging boxes of our products. The cardboard is manually cut and glued to get a unique Nonna personalized box with the logo in gold printing.

They talked about handicrafts.

“Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not a luxury, and handmade items are luxury, which not everyone has to have. Who wants to have them either pays the master for the work or does them himself.” – Coco Chanel
