Company Philosophy: Our target customer is a “teenager of forty-one”, the lady that wants to be young and desirable but can no longer find the right clothes in teenage fashion shops any more; the lady that already cares about quality and not about the price; We respect nature, use natural materials and are bound to European traditions and a cultural environment.

My Comments: More and more companies from the “old Eastern block” are now emerging as important branded manufacturers, companies like this who have been established for more than fifty years and supplying successfully the countries surrounding them now want to break into West of Europe and are doing so with great success. This company is both competitive and professional will be strong competition for the mainstream German and Spanish manufacturers. It is well known that Slovenian production is of a very high standard
