Konavle Embroidery
Konavle embroidery is the main decorative element on female clothing, which is embroidered on the breast and sleeves. Originally it was sewn using a silk thread, which came from silk moths that were carefully and painstakingly grown in each Konavle home. The threads were painted in natural colours, with an emphasis on red, black or dark green motifs, which were divided by white borders and decorated with golden-yellow fringes. Due to its beauty and amazing adaptability, today Konavle embroidery is used on many practical items. Surprise the ones closest to you by giving them a purse or another product that is decorated using this unique design. |
