Slovenia Shopping
The 16th edition of the Best of Local awards celebrates the brands, makers, shops and shopping destinations that help shape everyday life in Slovenia. Together with locals and everyone who loves the country, we’re recognising familiar favourites and discovering new names worth knowing.
Shopping can be about finding a thoughtful gift, discovering an independent designer or choosing a brand that has been part of your home for generations. The Slovenia Shopping category brings together everything from local products and fashion to online shops, shopping centres and the people who help us find a place to call home.
We’re also celebrating creativity and craftsmanship: the ideas, skills and personal touches that turn an everyday purchase into something memorable.
Some brands become part of our daily routines and shared memories. From morning coffee and family breakfasts to familiar drinks and flavours, these names have a place in the way people experience Slovenia.
