Playful craftsmanship

Handmade products from natural materials with high added value are a real treasure. They enrich souls of children who use them and of adults who give them away.

Quality products made of natural materials are of great importance for children and their development. The Škofja Loka master craftsmen designed some of these products, which they believe are of high quality and have a positive influence on a child’s development

Quality products are understood as handmade and environmentally friendly products made of natural materials. They are characterized by a simple shape – a simple design that stimulates a child's imagination and is also beautiful at sight.

A toy like that brings a child closer to tradition and helps him develop respect for the work of our ancestors.
