Traditional Armenian Women’s Garments

Could you imagine that the traditional Armenian women’s garments feature versatile styles and a multitude of accessories? If one watches the below video, they would see both quite familiar clothes as well as completely unfamiliar examples of Armenian garments.

The garments showcased in the video are mostly antique. The old Armenian styles probably spread throughout the world along with the Armenian culture, and maybe that’s why we have noticed some familiar clothes. Who knows, perhaps the modern ateliers drew inspiration from Armenian garments.

The below clip is quite interesting and undeniably beautiful.
