Hippy Garden has already decorated various products, including bags, towels, T-shirts and cosmetic products, with the Croatian traditional gingerbread heart motif as part of its "From Croatia with Love" product line, she added.

The espadrilles will be initially available at about 20 busiest points of sale, including airports, at 290 kuna (38 euros) a pair.
