It features original handcrafted textile made between the 18th and 19th century by Macedonian women as pieces of clothes worn on ceremonies, weddings and all celebrations.

The front of every piece is individually handwoven, richly hand-dyed using all natural pigments, and hand knotted with multicolored embroidery whereas some panels are joined together and embroidered with a rustic stitch. On the back side you'll meet the finest elegance of Italian fabrics like velvet, wool, cotton.

This piece is an amalgam of ingredients from customs and countries with a strong influence of cross-cultural design, where 'East meets West'. Labeled by Maker,Labeled by Maker See less
