Catalog (Ethnic Footwear)
Traditional Bulgarian wool slippers (terlitsi) from the Rhodope Mountains area. The exotic design reflects the historical Muslim and Turkish influence.
Craftswomen today make slippers on the sewing machine using wool or wool blend fabric. Traditional patterns are machine embroidered in colors and metallic threads. Gaitani, trim similar to middy braid, is typically used on the back of the ankle or arranged in decorative loops and patterns.
