👉 The women's folk costume from the village of Vabel consists of a “takmenik” (back apron), shirt, apron, stockings and belt. Particularly characteristic is the veiling, called “tach”. It is a woolen cap made of white fabric with a chin chin on which small coins are sewn. A semicircular wooden pad is attached to the hat. The veil is folded into a triangle and is decorated with embroidery on sewn strips of canvas on its two opposite points, which cross at the nape and tie in front over the forehead.
