Szervető Embroidered Bags

Multi-pocket shoulder bags with embroidered traditional folk art motifs from the North-East, Central Hungary, and the southeastern part of the Great Hungarian Plain.

These motifs are on the UNESCO lists of intangible cultural heritage. Each color has a meaning: black is the life-giving earth, red is the happiness, yellow is the summer and the sun, blue is the grief. The green on the clothes appeared after the first world war as a color of mourning.
