VIANA DO CASTELO EMBROIDERY SHIRT
DESCRIPTION
Short sleeve shirt featuring Viana do Castelo typical embroidery, camp collar and straight hem. Mother-pearl button fastening.
Primarily featured in the iconic "traje à Vianesa" folk costumes, Viana embroidery was originally crafted in linen and embroidered with threads of the same material, the motifs always reflected a rustic inspiration and a deeply romantic character. With the introduction of cotton thread, a richer color palette became possible, and it was with the widespread use of cotton thread that leaves, flowers, and hearts began to embrace a tricolor palette of white, blue, and red.
The designs, charming in their simplicity, contrast with the richness of the stitches employed.
