Eastern European mysticism and elegance at a high level
Clothes that go far beyond their destiny
The details and fabrics are simply made to be admired
The Bulgarian embroideries are as old as the country itself and have a very sacred significance for connoisseurs. The embroidered dresses, shirts and aprons have in the past told the tradition of custom and carried on. On a traditional apron we recognize embroidered motifs. It is easy to tell from where the person or the family came from.
