We always dreamed of saying “As seen in The New York Times” — and now we finally can. In June 2023, The New York Times Travel selected Break Time as one of the must-visit places in Split, Croatia, recommending our shop in their famous “36 Hours in Split” travel guide.
This recognition comes after an earlier feature by Hotels.com, which included Break Time in their article 10 Souvenirs People Love From Split . Since then, thousands of visitors from around the world have discovered our atelier and flagship store at Trogirska 8, Split, searching for authentic Croatian souvenirs and handcrafted nautical jewelry.

In the New York Times article, Break Time is highlighted in the section “Take Split Home” — alongside iconic local brands such as Nadalina chocolates and Uje Oil Bar’s gourmet products — as a destination for travelers seeking unique souvenirs from Croatia. Our handmade nautical bracelets, inspired by the Adriatic Sea and crafted in Split, were recommended as the perfect keepsake from the Dalmatian coast.
