In this particular case, we have a very creative 25-year old Ana Strni\u0161nik who had at the time just graduated in Sociology and decided to quit illustrating a children\u2019s magazine after 11 years. What did she do? She tried different things until she found herself in the place she already knew like the back of her hand \u2013 her father\u2019s leather workshop. So she sat down behind a sewing machine and stubbornly went at it for hours and days, learning and making mistakes on her own, not listening to anyone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Out of her new found joy for sewing and an unparalleled passion for all kinds of leather, came a wonderful product she calls THE BAG, and its smaller version, the mini. It\u2019s unique, just like its creator, because like all good products she started out wanting to make something useful and nice for herself \u2013 the multi-functionality of THE BAG stems from this. You can wear it two or three different ways: as a rucksack, a shoulder bag or a computer\/tote bag; changing between these she made possible by adding various adjustable straps. The other unique thing about it is that not one is the same as another. She also gives them names! So you get a bag that nobody else in the world has and it\u2019s named something classy like Seashell, Queen, Forest or Lioness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason for all this uniqueness is because Ana (or Gloria, which is her middle name and also the name of her brand) doesn\u2019t abide trends and doesn\u2019t like the term \u2018fashionable\u2019; what\u2019s important to her is that the product has character. That\u2019s actually what makes pairings between the bags and the women who wear them so special. There\u2019s no need to add that she does everything herself, from thinking about leather combinations to the hammering of the last little rivet. She also doesn\u2019t do orders, because she prefers to just express herself and make her own creations. This bold statement didn\u2019t come easy for her, it took her a long time to really believe in herself \u2013 and she says you need that, even though the first thing that comes from your hands looks more like panties than a bag!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All the leather that comes into her hands is from Italy, and she is so in love with its beauty and durability that she puts most of her earnings back into the material. The praise for her work has spread mostly by word of mouth, although the brand is also present on Facebook, Instagram (search for the name in the title) and has her own website (gloriaslittleworld.com). For novelties, such as the safe bag, leather bracelets and even wallets, definitely look it up. It took a lot of courage to just drop the known and plunge head first into sewing leather, but this brave lioness is making it work, one creation at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Text: Jasna Rajnar Petrovi\u0107; Photos: Jasna Rajnar Petrovi\u0107<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"excerpt\">Imagine a situation of ending a big chapter in your life and standing on the precipice of something new, unknown \u2013 let\u2019s face it, we have all been there.
