The traditional costume is one of the most important manifestations of Romanian traditional culture, the result of the creative effort of a whole community and a real identity brand. The dominant note of production in the world of the traditional village is the intertwining of local system of beliefs and customs into folk clothing. The symbols embroidered on traditional costumes embody the identity of the people in a mixture of sacred and mundane, faith and superstitions, creative genius and practical functions. The traditional production process reliant on local resources (wool, hemp, linen, and cotton) reflected a way of living, marked by wisdom and efficiency, determined to make the best out of locally available resources. The costume narrates a tale of resilience, continuance and survival, love, faith, strong intergenerational bounds and profound communion with nature. Hence, the costume becomes more than an object, holding deeper valences as place of remembrance and heritage.
