FOLKLORE – traditional fabrics for kroj and folk costumes
Our colorful selection of authentic, traditional folk costume fabrics includes rich brocades as well as beautiful cotton prints. These richly adorned fabrics give us the full skirts, colorful pinafores, and neat vests of Bohemian and Moravian folk costumes, but they can also shine in original contemporary pieces and home decor.
Each of our authentic folklore brocades is the product of painstaking research, drawing on museum and private collections to reconstruct patterns used for generations to make the unique costumes of a village or region. Join us to explore the history of each of these brocades, available exclusively through us.
We select patterns from various regions in Central Europe, but our heart lies where this journey began, in the countryside of Western Bohemia. Read our special report on Bohemian kroj in the Chod region and see what sparked the wonder.
