Women’s clothing is a canvas of beauty and symbolism, with designs varying between daily wear and festive occasions.
Garments are embroidered in colors inspired by nature — the green of the mountains, the blue of the sea and the golden tones of the sand — that reflect women’s connection to their surroundings.
