Some time ago, practise in Konavle was production of homemade soaps for washing purposes made of various cooked fats with ash powder, known as the warm process method. Today, we produce scented organic soaps with an original recipe by the caustic method or cold process. They are made from high-quality homemade olive oil and soda caustics and added natural essences. The production process lasts one month and results an aromatic scented organic soap.

Traditional Konavle Embroidery

Our local Konavle Embroidery is the most recognised and original Konavle souvenir. Today, you can find many souvenirs with such decorative patterns using the original embroidery design e.g. serving coasters or tablecloths. Originally, the embroidery was first used as a decoration of female folklore costumes that decorated the shirt chest and sleeves. Made in several variants, it represents the finest and most valuable part of a costume that is transferred from generation to generation. The embroidery was Hand woven with silk thread and painted with natural colours. Usually, you will see a combination of red, black and green colours embraced with a yellow silk bouquet in the middle that fits beautifully on the dark or light version of attractive female Konavle costume.
