About Us

Carried by Courage. Driven by Legacy.

Balkan Sticker Co. is more than a brand. It is a promise to the next generation.

My story began with my mother’s courage. She fled the war in Bosnia with my two sisters just 4 and 2 years old at the time clinging to her side, while she was pregnant with me. I was born in Rijeka, Croatia, a child of the diaspora before I even took my first breath.

From Rijeka to Houston in 2000, and finally finding our home in St. Louis in 2005, I watched my family rebuild everything from zero. They held onto our culture so that I wouldn't lose mine.

Now, as my husband and I raise our own two children, the mission has evolved. I want my kids to know exactly where their roots come from. I want them to feel a connection to their heritage that is vibrant, proud, and modern not just a faded memory of a country they visit in the summer.

I started this brand because "souvenir shop" quality wasn't enough for the story we carry. We deserve gear that honors our parents' sacrifice and makes our children proud to say, "I am Bosnian."

Our Mission: To help you represent your roots with style, wherever you live. We don't believe in mass-produced basics. We believe in pieces that feel personal, clean, and meaningful.

Built from the diaspora, for the diaspora. Thanks for supporting a small brand that refuses to settle for "basic."

Wear your roots. Represent the culture.

How Our Drops Work 

We release limited drops throughout the year. Once a drop ends, it may not return so if you see something you love, don’t wait.
