Textile stories

  • • Saša creates screen painted textile homeware
  • • Her brand name is inspired by Slovenian mythology
  • • Her products tell the story of Slovenian heritage and traditions

Saša Drobnič Škrjanec is a screen printing designer. Her story began back in 2007, when she couldn’t find a unique handbag that she would like for herself, so she made one. And then came a scarf and a skirt, which her friends really liked and wanted to buy. This is how the idea of creating clothes using screen printing came to life. She started her own business in 2013, but it was in 2015 when she decided to focus on textile homeware. The source of inspiration for her brand name – Jagababa – is a Slovenian mythological story that both Saša and her husband really like. It talks about a witty witch named Baba Jaga, who lived in a house that stood on chicken paws. The brand name indicates that the motifs on their products are drawn from the rich Slovenian cultural traditions.
