Abstract
The textile trade of the company, which was formed from the practical activities of women’s vocational school in Šibenik, was reconstructed on the basis of archival data, interviews and preserved items. Business operation and training were established according to the unique policies of vocational work in the country, but in practical terms these policies followed earlier local models like ‘‘The industry of national embroidery’’, women’s convent school and nun’s practical work. The initiative and practice of the Centre for the improvement of household made it stand out among the other similar practical activities of the vocational schools in the former Federation. Its work in the local environment established a valuable bridge between newly established types of the handicrafts from the beginning of the industrial era on one side, and the production activities of women’s civil activism and today’s crafts on the other side.
