Silk apron

Apron made of silk. Tone in tone with the Dirndl. Apron length 80cm

Pure silk

is one of the most exquisite fabrics in the world of clothing. The cradle of silk as a clothing fabric lies in ancient China and the Indus Valley. The precious fabric came to Europe along the ancient long-distance trade routes, which were soon called the Silk Roads, and not without reason. Silk is distinguished by its incomparable sheen and a soft, flowing feel on the skin, while showing astonishing strength. It lends dyes an outstanding brilliance. Gössl loves silk and its qualities, for it is true wellness for body and senses.

To every apron its bow

Where clothing itself once gave information about a woman's social standing, a new tradition has formed 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 – luck is on your side

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 from persistent suitors.

Bow in the middle

This is the traditional sign that the wearer is still a maiden. The undecided also like to tie their 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 a highlight for every occasion – no matter where the bow is placed.
