Apron in a plain colour

Short apron in Shatung silk for the 70cm skirt length. It combines in many ways and falls particularly lightly and elegantly.

Shatung silk

Shantung silk is a fine natural silk with a characterful, slightly irregular structure created by delicate slubs in the yarn. Its restrained sheen and somewhat firmer hand give the fabric liveliness and elegant depth. This makes Shantung silk festive, expressive and naturally refined all at once.

To every apron its bow

Where clothing itself once gave information about a woman's social standing, a new tradition has emerged over the past decades. The knowing lover of Tracht is aware: depending on where the bow is worn, custom knows various meanings.

Bow on the left – luck comes your way

When a woman wears the bow on the left side, she shows that she is not yet spoken for. Small, tasteful flirtations are therefore permitted.

Bow on the right – take care now

If a woman appears with her apron tied on the right, it means unmistakably that her heart already belongs to another. It also serves as protection against persistent suitors.

Bow in the middle

This is the traditional sign that the wearer is still a maiden. Those who are undecided also like to tie the bow here.

Bow at the back

With the bow tied at the back, the wearer shows that she is widowed.
