Stores with ethno products

The development of small rural areas can be a great incentive for a business idea that from a financial point of view will cause ethno-socio-development of a certain group.
In the small underdeveloped areas of our country are found rare forgotten values from the last century. In addition to the untouched nature, with abundance of water and natural resources, there are also rural areas with dilapidated houses here and there, and in some of them live people who are more than 70 years old. Of course there are two or three people from each village less than those years old, but the elderly are always better prepared to answer our questions.

As a small group accompanied by students from the Faculty of Ethnology, determined to explore the western part of our country, a part where it is really rich in greenery and blue on springs and small streams, we spent a spring, summer in search of relics of abandoned buildings.
Although our research segment was discovering the ethno motifs of past centuries, we also discovered new moments in our mission.
Inspired by the beauty of nature woven into the motifs of costumes, fabrics and embroidery, we decided to modernize the idea of past generations.
The elderly residents who were ready to talk to our group of researchers helped us to wake up the old weaving and embroidery machines. For a not very long time, many young people were trained, who were from urban areas, to weave, embroider, knit various handicrafts.
From their skillful young hands came many bags of ornaments, wallets with ethno ornaments, blankets, various vests and other ethno pieces of clothing.
The development of the content took place a lot at the moment when the village workshop found its own exhibition boutique in our larger cities which suddenly had a large attendance by tourists and citizens.

Our next goal will be to open shops with ethno motifs through which our cultural heritage will be presented, through those pieces of clothing or accessories (bags, wallets, embroidery, bracelets, rings, paintings,traditional food manuals, pieces of clothing). The shops would also have various seasonal organic fruits and vegetables that grow and are recognizable in our country.
Buyers will get not only a souvenir, but an item that they would use but it will still be authentic because it will remind of our country.

We plan to popularize the business first through social networks, our stands / shops will be placed in the busiest places in major cities, but we also expect support from embassies.
Some of our artists embroider on canvas and the framed paintings adorn the walls of some of our embassies around the world.

Through this business idea the communication with the world will be realized through our past. The origin of those products, which will find their place on the market in many countries, would further open the questions of the pure simplicity that gives the forgotten, rural environment of our geographical areas. These products will also enhance the human desire to develop mental and physical motor skills.

Business promotes and realizes the idea of self-affirmation and contributes to the awakening of dormant human abilities.
