Fodor's Expert Review Croata

Ties may not be the most original of gifts, but they are uniquely Croatian. During the 17th century, Croatian mercenaries who fought in France sported narrow silk neck scarfs, which soon became known to the French as cravats (from hrvat, meaning "Croatian person"). "Original Croatian ties" are sold here in presentation boxes, accompanied by a brief history of the tie. You can also find tasteful gifts for women, including scarves, shawls, and accessories.
