Travel Diaries: Istria
A journey to discover Istrian history and creativity
Recently, we took a short trip that led us to discover Istria, a land that pulsates with history and creativity. Staying in Koper , a charming seaside town, we explored Portorož and Piran , two jewels that knew how to surprise us.
Authentic hospitality and life stories
From the first steps, we felt welcomed by the warm Istrian hospitality. People are generous and ready to tell stories of life and tradition , sharing with us the secrets of a place where past and present meet.
A kitchen that enchants
The encounter with Balkan and Istrian cuisine has stimulated our taste for authentic flavors . From the simplicity of seafood dishes to the most refined spices , each meal has given us a journey into the flavors of the Eastern Mediterranean. Cooking here is an art that has its roots in local culture, just like the unique pieces we select for Vicode.
Local Crafts: Between History and Innovation
Walking through the markets and artisan workshops , we were fascinated by the variety and quality of Istrian craftsmanship. From the skilled hands of shoemakers to ceramic creations, each object tells a piece of history and passion . The artisan workshops, the hidden laboratories, the libraries overflowing with culture: in Istria, tradition lives in everyday life , just like the pieces we select for Vicode, designed for those seeking uniqueness.
Continuous inspiration
This trip reminded us why we do what we do: Vicode is a search for unique pieces, stories, cultures to bring home . A trip for us never ends with the return, but turns into inspiration for new collections .
