„Ceker“ is traditional souvenir from Međimurje and it was used as a bag for everyday needs. The making of the ceker is centuries old tradition, especially in our area along the Drava River. „Ceker“ is originallx made from maize (corn husk), but also other natural material can be used. The process of making a „ceker“ is based on how the husks wind up in lenght and then interwine on the wooden mold and knit it gradually into a highly valuable handicraft. In past this widespred craft had a much greater impact and there was no house where the „ceker“ was hand made. Today, there are few associatins that make the „ceker“ still alive, and the craftmanship of younger generations is transmitted to numerous organized workshops and educations.
