A few days looking around markets

At least once a year I feel the need to go to London. I have an innate bond with this city, I’m attracted to it. I love to wonder around looking for new places to discover, hidden corners, away from the usual tourist spots, but I also like to go back to places I’ve seen…

Baracuta

G10: a new life for the raincoat

I must admit that sometimes husband are not only useful for changing light bulbs in the household; sometimes they surprise us and this time my husband really did surprise me. Maybe you already knew about it, but as I’m no fashion Wikipedia, I had never seen them before my husband took one home: Baracuta’s G10…

So I decided to investigate and find out where they come from, and I discovered their story, that I’d like to share with you. Iva Ljubinkovic is a young architect from Belgrade (Serbia).
