Shopping in Brac Island - authentic goods, best outlets, malls and boutiques

On the island of Brač, there are no major shopping centers or outlets. Therefore, if you want to buy branded clothes and shoes, it's worth spending a little time to travel to mainland Croatia. If you decide to go from the island on an excursion, for example, to Split, to the Diocletian's Palace, then try to find the time and visit the big shops there. In Brac, it is worth buying souvenirs and products from the local producers.

Perhaps, the most unique souvenir of all, sold on the island, can be considered artifacts from the Brač stone. The point here is not that it was the material from which the Capitol was made, and not even that such white limestone isn’t mined anywhere else. The point is in the meaning of products from the Brač stone to the local residents. In some places, residents still keep at least one piece of this material in their homes for the protection from the evil spirits. It is not at all necessary to believe in the power of the stone in order to admire the finest work of carver craftsmen who create amazing products from this beautiful material.
As a practical souvenir you can buy a small bag of lavender. Lavender calms, gives a strong sleep and serves as an excellent natural freshener for laundry. You can also buy lavender oil. There is also a great choice of shells and crafts made of them, and figured candles. The original souvenir will be local lace and Vucedol dove, which is a copy of a cult vessel on three legs. Please note that the pigeon is very fragile. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

An interesting gift will be the jewelry from the Morcic factory. Brooches, earrings, pendants – they are all united by the unity of form.

For centuries, ties were worn both as an attribute of national clothes and as part of military uniforms.
Brac Among the edible souvenirs Prsut is without any doubt on the first place.
