Description
This listing is for a handmade folk costume blouse from the village of Torysky in the Spis region of Slovakia. This is a Rusyn village and has a rich folk culture with unique costumes that remained in use into the 21st century. The blouse is made of linen and cotton with embroidery around the collar and hand-woven cuffs. The blouse is short as it is designed to be worn together with a vest over top that keeps everything in place. The skirt and vest shown in the last photo are listed separately on ebay. Other Rusyn and Slovak folk costumes available. Please email with specific requests.
A note regarding condition: All of the costumes and textiles that I sell are vintage and have typically seen decades of use resulting in expected wear and tear that add to the history and authenticity of each piece. In case of above average wear, I try to list any significant damages and heavy signs of use in the above description. Depending on the age, materials, and condition, I will often hand-wash more durable, colorfast cotton and linen elements, but embellished garments, heavier wool pieces or items made from silk or fine fabrics are sold in the original, unwashed condition. Small holes or stains, missing sequins/beads, worn trim, and other marks related to standard wear are common and do not detract from the value of most pieces. Please keep in mind that a vintage textile or garment in very good condition might still show signs of use, storage and age. Unless otherwise noted, all of the items listed for sale are in very good, stable condition and are suitable for use, wear or display. I am more than happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have, so please ask questions to allow me to offer you the best service possible. I stand behind every item I sell and want you to be happy with your purchase.
USPS Shipping:
I try to get to the post office twice a week to mail packages, but sometimes I only manage to post items once a week - please keep this in mind when shopping. It is possible that your item will not be shipped out for one week after payment is received. If you need something quicker, please contact me before buying to make sure that I can accommodate your request.
Combined Shipping Note:
If you are interested in receiving a discount for combined shipping, please wait for a combined invoice from us. I cannot offer discounted shipping on items that are paid for on PayPal individually.
International Shipping:
Foreign buyers are welcome and ebay should provide you with an automatic shipping quote on each item page. If you don't see a shipping cost listed, please contact me for shipping rates to your country. If you are interested in buying several items, please send me a message as I am happy to combine purchases to save you in shipping fees.
