Our Romani costume is both mystical and earthy at the same time. It speaks the language of the spirit while still being of this earth.
The Romani people through years of learning passed on from generation to generation a deep knowledge of what moves people and the earth. What we usually refer to as superstitions and old wive's tales was actual knowledge passed on from the experiences of living, of observing that led to a deep understanding of the natural process and of human nature itself. It is a rich, mystical and
earthy culture. Not unlike the persecuted witches during the Middle Ages, which found in nature the herbs that had a healing power, Romani have themselves been persecuted for centuries for not following the rules and beliefs set by the society they lived in. It is thanks to humanities' perseverance, strong will and spirit that these cultures survived against all odds in a world unfriendly to those who walk a path different from what is expected.
