    The Kratero (Florina, Makedonia)

    This traditional costume of Kratero is the most recent addition to the Levendia-X collection. It consists of a white cotton shirt embroidered at the sleeves with coloured thread. The bodice is covered by a neck scarf, made from a piece of pale blue cotton cloth. On top of this, a short, black segouni is worn, layered by a woolen sash, 2m in length. This costume is further adorned by an apron woven with black and yellow yarn. Coins also complement this costume which symbolize the gifts offered by the groom's family. This costume is topped-off with the headscarf, worn tightly over the head.
