How did Rendes come about?

For all our dear coffee and colorful porcelain lovers, we decided to share a little more about our brand. We are Bruno and Milica – young and creative entrepreneurs.

The story of Rendes began as an idea for product development in collaboration with other Croatian manufacturers. Our most important long-term partner is Inker, or today Inkerpor – a porcelain products factory from Zaprešić.

The idea came to us spontaneously, Bruno has been involved in the production and sale of porcelain cups and plates his entire life through his mother, who worked for more than 40 years, until her retirement, at Inker from Zaprešić, today’s Inkerpor doo. Even as a boy, he was familiar with the quality of their porcelain products, the possibilities of decoration and, most importantly, the people who work there. They have become our friends as well as business partners.

How did the name Rendes come about?

The brand was named Rendes because rendes is actually an old Zagreb word for a date or a hookup. Since we are constantly on dates with our partners, we simply called ourselves Rendes!

What we love most about Rendes is the freedom, the opportunity for creative expression, and the new skills that come with entrepreneurship. We jumped into this head-on, with nothing but a desire to work and ideas for the future. We soon created the “Rainbow” product line, playful sets of coffee cups. They quickly became a hit, and the first stories about us appeared on social networks and in various media outlets, which helped us get our business rolling even faster and better!

Our mugs are truly special because they are made of Croatian porcelain and hand-painted, making each mug unique. And that’s exactly what we stand for – we believe in the quality of our artists, and we help them convey the message of their work through one of the greatest rituals of today – drinking coffee or tea.

New collections

After Rainbow, we decided to complete our range with something different – the “Night Sky” and “Caffeine Molecule” lines. Night Sky is a representation of the playful night sky on the deep blue color of the cup. On the other hand, with the Caffeine Molecule cup, we aimed at those who study “the night before” an exam, and all coffee lovers who will find a source of energy and perseverance in this cup.

As time passes, our ideas develop in, I might say, interesting directions, and even more interesting creations that will soon find their place in the Rendes assortment.
