Women’s traditional folk costume, West Kraków region,

Original folk costumes are now a thing of the past and can only by admired in museums. New costumes, sometimes faithful replicas, sometimes changed and vaguely resembling the original ones can be seen during folk bands performances. They still evoke our interest, fascinate us with their beauty and decorativeness, they bring on the memories of the past generations who left us this cultural heritage, through which we can discover our own roots and national identity.
