Lachow Sadeckich female folk costume

One of the most famous collections of Bombkarnia is the one referring to regional embroidery. We want to present the heritage of Polish folk art in a new way, i.e. on glass baubles. The hand-made figurine shows the details of regional embroidery while maintaining all the substantive elements.

This costume has been worn since the beginning of the 19th century by peasants from the foothills of Sądecczyzna, located in the south of Poland. People, who live on this land, call themselves “Lachowie”. Because of Tatra Mountains neighbourhood, some parts of their costume were inspired by a traditional highlander’s fashion. After the Second World War, Lachów Sądecki costume has became a festive garment and today is still used on the folk song and dance festivals. Lachów Sądecki female folk dress customarily includes: a linen blouse, a velvet corset and a woollen, beaded embroidered jacket – “katana”. The skirts are always made of a wool in amaranth with a pinafore in the same shade, decorated with an embroidered floral motifs, black lace and loops of string. Married women are obliged to wear white bonnets with red embroidery. The whole costume is completed with lace-up boots and strings of beads. This handmade glass girl brings memories about the traditional costume and the embroidery from the Sądecczyzna region. It belongs to the Bombkarnia author’s collection..
