A tribute to a garment that has captivated generations, whether as a gift, keepsake or a token of your appreciation of Austrian culture, the coin is ideal for any occasion. A tradition that never gets old, dirndl, trachten and lederhosen are to Austria what the kilt is to Scotland and the kimono is to Japan Originally the workaday clothing of the rural population of Austria, this traditional attire is now becoming increasingly popular in the cities as well. Irrespective of the type of celebration, the dirndl always brings fun to the party and, whether in its classic or modern interpretation, remains a true eye-catcher. The dirndl was traditionally made from linen. A robust, breathable material that comes from the flax plant, which flourishes in many parts of Austria, linen is not only durable, environmentally friendly and timelessly appealing, it also adds a truly special touch to the dirndl. Several different types of fabric now play a role in the production of the dress. In combination with the broad range of colours and designs used, this makes each dirndl unique.
