Croatia #18
All bids are binding. The winner must complete payment within 48 hours after the auction closes.
The prsluk, the traditional waistcoat worn by both men and women as a central piece of Croatian folk dress, shapes this piece with the boldness of the famous red and white chequered pattern. Number 18 for 2018, the year the Vatreni reached the World Cup final and reminded the world that a nation of four million can stand on the biggest stage of all.
THE STORY BEHIND THE COLLECTION
Every Ganxo Studio piece is a handmade natural linen shirt, crafted by hand in Barcelona, paired with an organic cotton scarf. The jersey draws from American football aesthetics with oversized cut, dropped shoulders, V-neck and bold number on the chest. A nod to the host nation woven into every single piece in the collection. The scarf is placed following the traditional dress codes of every country, on the head, around the neck, across the chest or at the waist. This is not a reproduction. This is the only one that will ever exist.
HOW THE AUCTION WORKS
This auction opens June 11th, the first day of the 2026 World Cup. It closes 24 hours after Croatia gets eliminated from the tournament. The further they go, the more this piece is worth. If they reach the final, you do the math. Only 1 exists. When it's gone, it's gone.
