The best fashion and gift stores Split & Area

Since April 2019, Forgas Butiga is installed in the lobby of the Palace Cindro, between the peristyle and the Iron Gate. An arty artisanal concept store where many disciplines express themselves. Drawing, sewing, printing and silk-screening go into the making of T-shirts with acidic patterns, a combination of Pop Art and baroque. Posters, black and white photos as well. His work is recognized by Estee Lauder, Sean John, Will Smith, Universal Records, Sony, T-Mobile, Pepsi, Sofitel, NBA, Nokia... who have already placed orders.

On the Peristil square, a luxury store where ties are displayed, of course, but also silk scarves, for women or men, elegant scarves and shawls made in Croatia. Fashion accessories in limited edition with some models with the same patterns and colors. If you are looking for a ready-to-wear souvenir, of remarkable quality, you will definitely find it here. Other address: Croata Store, Mihovilova širina 7 (Voćni trg).

If you forgot your mask and snorkel or your plastic sea shoes (indispensable in Croatia because of the sea urchins), if you didn't want to load up with fins or all the equipment related to diving, boating, or if you soiled your swimsuit with pine sap (which can happen on the rocks), then this specialized shop is for you. Offers quality products, compared to the shops on the riva.

If you forgot to take a book or two for your vacation, this bookstore could help you out, provided that you read Croatian and English! There are a few books in French but they are mostly methods to learn our language, tourist guides, some classics like Maupassant. There is much more choice in English. They also offer connectivity equipment, headphones, with or without wires, audio headsets, keyboards and microphones, mice, games and DVDs, all at more interesting prices than in France.
