The family tradition in hat manufacturing began immediately after World War II, when Katarina Šušteršić Kobali worked at the Tomić fur shop in Masarykova Street, adopting specific hat design methods that were typical of the civic clothing culture of that time. In the 1970s, her daughter Nada Kobali founded an independent atelier and positioned the craft as a recognizable fashion staple of the city's identity, developing models based on handmade, individual production and the aesthetics of civic elegance and classic style.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HSE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48700174598393,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/5233\/files\/2026croPopularCulture-Fashion.jpg?v=1784753416","url":"https:\/\/www.buyhungarianstamps.com\/products\/croatia-2026-popular-culture-fashion-ss-mnh","provider":"Hungaria Stamp Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
