Kaiserin with hand printing

The apron of pure silk shows a true hand print, which makes every model an unmistakable one-off. The apron ribbon of shot dupion silk shimmers in many layers, depending on the fall of the light.

Dupion silk

Dupion silk is a noble 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 hand, keeps its shape and always appears elegant – ideal for high-quality, festive Gwand

To every apron its bow

Where once the clothing itself gave information about a woman's social standing, a new tradition has developed over the last decades. The knowledgeable lover of Tracht knows: depending on where the bow is worn, custom recognises different 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 the apron tied on the right, it means unmistakably that her heart already belongs to another. It also serves as protection from 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.
