That was 11 years ago - the moment I fell in love with the island without memory. Back then, Bali was not yet as commercial as it is today. Instead of fashionable boutiques, there were small studios, local manufactories and artisans creating their works literally on the street: on their knees, sitting on the ground, with full concentration and heart. Watching this work completely mesmerized me.<\/p>\n    <p>I've always dreamed of having my own brand - but I knew it had to be unique. For years I searched for an idea that would be authentic, close to my aesthetic and rooted in something real. Only Bali gave me the answer.<\/p>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <!-- ROZDZIA\u0141 02 -->\n  <section class=\"chapter\">\n    <div class=\"media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zuaworld.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Zua-scaled.webp\" alt=\"Zua \u2014 the beginnings of the brand in Bali\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"text\">\n      <span class=\"eyebrow\">02<\/span>\n      <h2>first steps \u2014 jewelry and admiration for craftsmanship<\/h2>\n      <p>It all started with jewelry. I met a local artisan, Hakim, who made beautiful bracelets from beads, feathers and string. When I bought the first models, I felt that I wanted to show this handmade art in Europe. They were different, unique, full of soul - exactly the kind of things that have always inspired me.<\/p>\n      <p>My greatest fascination was handwork: crochet, weaving, local painting, furniture, ceramics. Bali is an endless source of craftsmanship, tradition and beauty - I felt from the beginning that I wanted to be a part of it.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <!-- ROZDZIA\u0141 03 -->\n  <section class=\"chapter rev\">\n    <div class=\"media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zuaworld.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Zua-3-scaled.webp\" alt=\"Zua \u2014 Manual Labor in a Balinese Workshop\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"text\">\n      <span class=\"eyebrow\">03<\/span>\n      <h2>from the first workshops to today's collection<\/h2>\n      <p>Over time, I returned to Bali regularly, becoming more and more convinced that this is where I want to create. I met Balinese craftswomen from small workshops, where most of my dresses are hand-crocheted. This collaboration is extremely important to me because it is rooted in trust and local tradition.<\/p>\n      <p>Today, Zua collections are also made in other small manufactories and knitting mills, but still a huge part of the work is done by hand. This is the heart of the brand, which I never want to lose.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <!-- ROZDZIA\u0141 04 -->\n  <section class=\"chapter\">\n    <div class=\"media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zuaworld.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Zua-2-scaled.webp\" alt=\"Zua \u2014 dresses, brand symbol\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"text\">\n      <span class=\"eyebrow\">04<\/span>\n      <h2>Dresses that became symbols of evil<\/h2>\n      <p>Although the beginnings were mainly related to jewelry, over time it was dresses that became the most important part of my collections. Feminine, flexible, softly wrapping around the body, emphasizing natural shapes - light, sensual and made for movement, sun and freedom.<\/p>\n      <p>Each dress is meant to tell a story - of femininity, lightness and confidence.

For many years I was somewhere \u201ein between\u201d - trying to distribute energy in different directions.<\/p>\n      <p>Only in recent years have I been able to fully focus on Zua and put my whole heart into it.
