What is ELFS?

ELFS is a Croatian fashion brand founded in 2004 by the designers Aleksandar Šekuljica and Ivan Tandarić. It is known for an early and playful use of logomania, treating the logo as a status symbol, and for its slogan No.1 Fashion brand with LOVE!

Products and positioning

The brand designs clothing and fashion accessories for men and women, together with home accessories produced locally. Its product listings include:

  • Dresses, blazers and swimwear
  • Shoes and sandals
  • Bags, hats, earrings and sunglasses
  • Children's bodysuits

Distribution

ELFS runs six own stores in Croatia, located in Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, Opatija, Dubrovnik and on the island of Hvar. Its network therefore covers both the capital and the main tourist destinations on the Adriatic coast.

Why it matters

ELFS is one of the better-known homegrown fashion labels of Croatia, and an example of how a designer brand can build a recognisable identity through branding and its own retail network in a smaller market.
