Clothes in folklore style

The folklore style is rather like a treasure chest. Lift the lid to reveal beautiful fabrics made using a variety of weaving techniques, embroidered flowers in brilliant colours and stitches that wind across the surface like allegories. Folklore style can have many expressions. Picture a jacquard-knit long cardigan with a thousand flowers in every shade and size, a lavishly decorated dress with beautiful borders, an embroidered yoke and a flowing silhouette, or a block-printed jacket with textile buttons and a richly colourful design on its back. Yet, folklore clothing can also embrace simplicity. Think of a woven kaftan dress with roses in tonal colours, or an embroidered blouse in beautiful, soothing colour combinations. The common characteristic for all folklore clothing is the fusion of culture and craftsmanship. The folk aesthetic is timeless. It never goes out of style, but finds new approaches and expressions.

We take great pride in the fabrics we use in our folklore-inspired pieces. Crafted from soft organic cotton, linen, wool and other comfortable natural fibres, not only are they a delight to wear, they also stand the test of time. Your Gudrun clothes will be your trusted companions for years to come. Simply mix them in various ways and match with accessories to create a look with a folklore vibe that expresses your personal style.

And of course, don’t forget to embrace layers. The folk aesthetic is made for layering. Imagine a knitted waistcoat over a dress embroidered with roses and a patterned shawl draped over your shoulders. Perhaps add a pair of striped leggings for extra flair and embroidered fingerless gloves to combat the chill. Once you start experimenting with colours and patterns, you’ll find it hard to stop. There are endless combinations and each one is unique. So jump right in and start mixing colours, patterns and fabrics in unexpected and exciting ways. Cocoon yourself in an embroidered shawl, twizzle across the floor in a striped skirt and share your story with the world – in true, folklore-inspired style.
