Louise, dedicated to Karlovac and its renaissance star town heart Posted on 10 September 2012 and filed under Très Chic. This post is also available in: Croatian Karlovac was built in the 16th century. The construction of the town begun on 13 July 1579 – the town’s birthday! The town was build as a renaissance fortress in shape of six-pointed star. With central square and rectangular network of houses and streets inside of the star, trenches with water outside. The fortress looked like this. This is a photo of a map of Karlovac from 1779, two centuries later, taken from the book „The Town of Karlovac in Words and Pictures“ by Rudolf Strouhal from 1906. The Star looks the same nowadays. Ok, with some changes: there is no more water in trenches, parks and playgrounds are there now… You can see it here. Is there anyone who was born or raised in Karlovac and has not spend time sitting on a bench in a park just looking at trees and leaves? Or has not sleighed down trenches? Used rare opportunities to have a beer from the fountain on the central square? Spent summer evenings in Radićeva Street or had cappuccino in Town guards cafe? This list of joy and nostalgia could be long… I believe that each of us carries his hometown in the heart. Karlovac and the Star are certainly in mine. I wanted to wish a happy birthday to Karlovac – I am a bit late… hope it does not mind… – presenting it a girl of its age: a renaissance bag. I was thinking of ladies who lived in the town during or just after the construction. And how they might have used such little bags to carry household keys, money, sewing necessities, mobile phones… Ok, for me the time obviously is not linear:) Made in honour of Karlovac, the bag has the Star and trenches hand embroidered on its front. The name of the bag is Louise. Yes, in honour of Lujzijana, the road that connected Karlovac to Rijeka in 19th century. The road got its name in honour of Marie Louise, a Habsburg princess and Napoleon’s second wife. Happy birthday, Karlovac! Thank you Marie Louise. And huge thanks to all who got interested in the bag and commented on it, I am and flattered and happy! Love, Mare I hand made Louise handbag from blue jeans strengthened with interfacing. The bag is lined with linen fabric. The bag is approximately 20 cm wide and 15 cm tall when closed. Cotton cord shapes the sides of bag into rich folds and the bag closes with magnetic snap closure. Front of the bag is made from beige linen fabric and adorned with the Star hand embroidery. Blue cotton thread and stem stitch for walls, green and chain stitch for trenches. Hi Himali! I am very sorry and quite embarrassed that I’ve been lost in time and your comment lost in cyberspace for so long… Thank you! It’s fun to experiment with fabric patterns for the body and decorations on the flap for this purse. I’ll gladly make one for you, if you would still be interested, please let me know. - Comment Feed for this Post

Lujza, posvećena Karlovcu i njegovoj renesansnoj zvijezdi, srcu grada Posted on 10 rujna 2012 and filed under Très Chic @hr. This post is also available in: English Grad Karlovac sagrađen je u 16-om stoljeću. Gradnja je započela 13. srpnja 1579. godine – rodni dan Karlovca! Grad je sagrađen kao renesansna utvrda u obliku šesterokrake zvijezde. S centralnim trgom i pravokutnom mrežom kuća i ulica unutar zvijezde i šančevima s vodom oko zvijezde. Utvrda je izgledala ovako. Ovo je fotografija karte Karlovca iz 1779. godine, dva stoljeća kasnije, prenesena iz knjige Rudolfa Strouhala „Grad Karlovac opisan i orisan“ iz 1906-e. Zvijezda i dan danas izgleda tako. U redu, uz male promjene tako da u šančevima više nije voda, nego su parkovi i igrališta… Može se vidjeti ovdje. Tko od nas nije sjeo u klupu na Perivoju samo malo gledati drveće i lišće? Ili se nije sanjkao u šančevima? Grabio rijetke prilike za popiti pivicu iz fontane na trgu? Provodio ljetne večeri u Radićevoj, pio cappuccino u Gradskoj straži? Ovaj niz veselja i nostalgije mogao bi biti dug… Vjerujem da svatko nosi svoj rodni grad u srcu, meni su Karlovac i Zvijezda svakako tamo. Rođendan sam gradu – malo kasnim… nadam se da ne zamjera… – željela čestitati njegovom vršnjakinjom, renesansnom torbicom. Zamišljala sam dame u doba gradnje i netom nakon. Kako moguće baš u takvim torbicama nose ključeve od kuća, novac, pribor za šivanje, mobilne telefone… U redu, meni vrijeme očito ne ide linearno:) Napravljena Karlovcu u čast, torbica na poklopcu ima rukom izvezene konture Zvijezde i šančeva. Zove se Lujza. Da, prema Lujzijani, cesti koja je početkom 19-og stoljeća spojila Karlovac s Rijekom. Točnije, prema Mariji Lujzi, habsburškoj princezi i Napoleonovoj drugoj supruzi, prema kojoj je i cesta dobila ime. Sretan rođendan Karlovcu! Hvala Mariji Lujzi. I ogromno hvala svima koji su zamijetili i komentirali torbicu, počašćena sam i sretna! S ljubavlju, Mare Torbicu Lujzu napravila sam od jeans-a ojačanog flizelinom. Torbica je podstavljena lanenom tkaninom. Veličine je oko 20-ak s 15-ak cm kada je zatvorena. Pamučnim se uzicama torbica oblikuje u bogate nabore i zatvara se poklopcem s magnetskim drukerom. Poklopac napravljen od lanene tkanine bež boje krasi rukom izvezena Zvijezda. Plavi pamučni konac i bod lozice za zidove, zeleni i lančani bod za šančeve.
