Gold apron

Fine apron in hand-printed Dupion silk.

Dupion silk

Dupion silk is a fine natural silk with a characterful, slightly irregular structure that arises from the spinning of double cocoons. Its lively shimmer gives the fabric particular depth and expression. At the same time it is pleasantly firm to the touch, holds its shape and always appears elegant – ideal for high-quality, festive Gwand

To every apron its bow

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

Bow on the left – it brings luck

When a woman wears the bow on the left side, she shows that she is not yet taken. 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.
