Keen to make traditional garments accessible for everyone, Embla also offers a bunad-matching hijab. A few years ago, the company was approached by a new group of customers looking for non-binary bunad alternatives. Could Embla help? Embroidered male traditional clothes and beautiful flask.

Over the past decade, the discussions about the development of queer or non-binary gákti has become increasingly prevalent, both in Sweden and in Norway, with discussions on social media and in radio and newspapers. Let’s talk in detail about Serbian traditional men’s and women’s costumes. Of course, we will only outline the general features of the outfits typical for this country. If we wrote here in detail about every regional attire, there would be tons of information. But you’ll be able to learn more about the regional costumes of Serbia in our next articles.Perhaps that is not so surprising. Ever since 1847, the Norwegian Institute for Bunad and Folk Costume (which started out as a government department) has categorised and catalogued most regional bunad in Norway. Lambersøy even warns customers who ask her to change up their usual costume, be it in a gender-conformist way or not, that this can provoke negative reactions. But personally, she thinks mixing accessories, like removing an apron or adding a silk scarf, only leads to a greater cultural wealth. When the non-binary bunad was finished, the Norwegian Institute for Bunad and Folk Costume in the end supported the innovation. Since 2002 we have navigated the path between streetwear and the architect-designer aesthetic. We helped create a scene for well made casual clothing with a modern British spin. Our collections have since become more refined. The raring colour of early collections exists more as accents now. Our point of difference is in lush, exclusive fabrics, and details you may not appreciate until after you buy. Serbian traditional clothes can be also embellished with braiding, tassels, yarn pom-poms, and other decorative elements.

Husband and wife in the traditional clothing from Gnjilane (city in eastern Kosovo). The photo was taken at the Festival of folk clothing "Biserna grana", Futog, Novi Sad, Serbia The interest for the new bunad was high. But one thing surprised Lambersøy. "I thought people would get creative with the different choices," she says. "But no. They want it the way it is supposed to be. They want to follow the rules." Man and woman from Sarajevo (capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina) wearing the traditional Serbian outfits. Similar costumes are used by Serbs who live near Sarajevo, Skopje, and in Romanija area (mountain and geographical region in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina). The photo was taken at the Festival of folk clothing "Biserna grana", Futog, Novi Sad, SerbiaThe main cloths used to make a folk clothing traditionally are linen, hemp, cotton, and wool. Of course, the fabric used to be homemade until the 20th century. Nowadays, few traditional pieces of clothes are sewn from the homemade materials, most of the fabrics are factory-made. But even in the old times, people sometimes used factory-made fabrics (silk, brocade, velour, lace, etc.), especially for the festive outfits.
