To every apron its bow

Where clothing itself once gave information about a woman's social standing, a new tradition has taken shape over the past 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

If 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, this 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.

Gössl's double apron ribbon offers countless possibilities for perfecting this individual Dirndl style. From refined knots to the extravagant fan bow, there are no limits here. Precious embroidery and artful braids make Gössl's aprons the highlight for every occasion – no matter where the bow is placed.
