Macedonian Crafts: From passion to the expansion of creativity

Macedonian Crafts: From passion to the expansion of creativity

On the last day of the week, we want to dedicate ourselves to one young lady who is the perfect example of how small moves can make great things in life. Jovana is a local hero who supports not only tourism in Macedonia but also local crafts. She told our Team her story of how Balco Crafts is born.


Three years ago, guided by her creativity and love for jewellery and creativity she wanted to explore if a small step can take her anywhere. "With only one to two orders in the beginning, Thanks to my love, passion, creativity and the smile of a client when they received the product, my business started growing. With just a few pieces int he beginning, the clients started asking for personalized and custom designs on bags, mugs and other accessories." - she is also making sure that each client will get the final product even better then they imagined.


Every little creation, the client's happiness and smile is her main motivation to grow together with this business. Jovana is constantly looking for new materials, techniques and new trends to present to her clients and make their orders even more beautiful and personalized.


"I am still learning. For me, Balco Crafts is more than just a business. It's a reflection of my creativity, passion and devotion. It's an honour for me to make someone's day even a little bit happier." - says Jovana.
