This authentic Romanian folk costume from the Banat region is a beautiful 4-piece ensemble, entirely handmade using traditional methods. Each piece reflects the cultural richness and fine craftsmanship specific to this historical area of Romania.

Traditional Blouse (Ie)
Made of home-woven white cotton fabric, with wide bell sleeves and subtle white embroidery along the sleeve hems. The cuffs are finished with hand-crocheted lace, a fine detail that highlights the artisanal skill behind this garment. The blouse features a deep slit on the chest, fastened at the neckline with a small button. Hemmed by hand (not machine-sewn), giving it an authentic, rustic character.

Wool Aprons (Catrințe)
