Federkiel-Dirndl

The Dirndl in a classic cut with a Munich neckline presents itself exclusively with a bodice of fine smooth leather and silk. The delicate and exceptionally demanding Federkiel embroidery, made of finely split peacock feather quills, stands out in contrast against the leather. The skirt of shimmering Dupion silk displays its unique refraction of light through natural thread thickenings. On the button placket, magnificent buttons of high-alloy sterling silver stand in line. A truly desirable ensemble.

Federkiel embroidery

is a traditional and particularly elaborate embroidery technique, applied above all on belts. Finely cut quill – originally from the quills of peacock feathers – is artfully worked into the leather. The characteristic ornaments and floral patterns bear witness to the highest craftsmanship and make every model a special one-off. Federkiel embroidery is regarded as one of the noblest and most tradition-rich forms of decoration in Tracht and gives the Gwand an unmistakable worth.

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 hand, retains its shape and always appears elegant – ideal for high-quality, festive Gwand
