Folklore-inspired styles

Folklore-inspired styles are like a little treasure trove. Open the door and you’ll find wonderful fabrics made with various weaving techniques, embroidered flowers in dazzling colors, and stitches meandering this way and that. Folkloric styles could be so much – a jacquard-knit long cardigan with thousands of flowers in different colors and sizes, a richly decorated dress with beautiful borders, an embroidered yoke and wonderful width, or a block-printed jacket with a colorful pattern on the back and textile buttons. But folkloric styles can also be so little – a woven kaftan dress with tone-on-tone roses, or an embroidered blouse with beautiful, soothing color combinations. What all folkloric styles have in common is the combination of culture and craftsmanship. Folklore-inspired fashion is timeless. It never goes out of style; it just finds new paths and forms of expression.

We particularly want to emphasize the materials in our folklore-inspired styles. The clothing is made in materials such as wool, linen and organic cotton, which means they aren’t just comfortable; they’re also durable. A garment from Gudrun will stay with you, year after year. By combining clothes in different ways and using different accessories, it’s easy to find your own lovely folkloric style.

And don’t forget layers. A folklore-inspired look is made for layering. Imagine a dress with embroidered roses, add a knit vest over the dress and then a patterned shawl over your shoulders. Maybe a pair of striped leggings under your dress and embroidered fingerless gloves when it gets cold out. Once you’ve started experimenting with colors and patterns, it can be hard to stop. The options are endless, and every combination is unique. So boldly mix and match colors, patterns and materials in unexpected ways. Wrap up in an embroidered shawl, add a striped skirt and let the world be part of your story – in true folkloric style.
