Kobali

Almost a century old and still in the family, this classic hat shop is a real Zagreb institution. Looking at Kobali’s artfully arranged salon display is a bit like leafing through vintage fashion magazines and being taken aback by just how individual, wearable and stylishly retro the millinery still is. Leopard-print caps (800kn) look like something out of a Seventies fashion shoot and will go down a storm at the disco; classic ladies’ straw hats (2000kn plus) come in natural colours or in black and can be swoon-inducingly elegant when paired with the right summer outfit. For the guys, a raffish linen flat cap will set you back 600kn. Note that the address is Ilica 5, but the salon is actually located just round the corner on Margaretska.
