Traditional culture in Brittany

Brittany is home to splendid and colorful national costumes. These costumes have been handed down through the generations and used to be worn out at family gatherings and public **** programs, while today they are only worn during pilgrimages and folk processions, which tourists may have the opportunity to admire. The fineness of the costumes used to be one of the signs of family affluence. Made of satin or velvet and woven or embroidered with gold and silver threads in a raised pattern and decorated with lace, the local costumes were comparable to the various ceremonial dresses. The main color of Breton folk costumes is usually black, decorated with bands of velvet, sometimes embroidered with multicolored and flaming patterns, as in the Quimper and Ponti'Abbé regions.

The uniqueness of traditional Breton women's clothing centers on hats, formerly common in the provinces of Finistère and Morbihan. The most charming hats are those of Pont-Aven, where the lace is dispersed around the colorful bands and fits perfectly with the high, pulped collar. The Pont-Rabe region is also known for its peculiar hat style, a delicate and playful hat decorated with lace that used to be small in size, but gradually became larger after the 1930s.
