Trønderbunad

The Trønderbunad for both women and men originates from the Trøndelag region and is available in several colors—blue, green, and black being the most common. Known for its timeless design, high-quality materials, and strong regional identity, it is a popular choice among bunad wearers. At Hulda Bunader, you’ll find material kits and premium fabrics to create your own authentic Trønderbunad.

The Trønderbunad was developed in the 1920s based on studies and documentation of traditional garments from the region. A key focus was to use locally produced materials, which is why the bunad is rooted in Trøndelag’s damask weaving tradition. In its early years, there was a greater variety of colors and patterns than what is common today. Some bunads featured striped skirts, while others had matching fabric for both the bodice and skirt. Solid-colored bunads in blue wool were also seen.

Bodice

The bodice (liv) features decorative seams and a gathered lower edge, both trimmed in a contrasting color. Fabrics for the bodice come in blue, red, green, and black, with traditional woven patterns such as “rose with wave,” “single rose,” or “rose with stem.”

Skirt

The bunad skirt (stakk) matches the main color of the bodice fabric. A contrasting band along the bottom edge of the skirt corresponds with the trim on the bodice.

Apron

The apron (forkle) is available in two different patterns—rose or vekre—and comes in three background colors: gray, brown, or green. The green background is specifically intended to match the red version of the bunad.

Pocket

Three different embroidered pocket (lomme) styles exist for this bunad, although we do not carry them. For those who prefer a coordinated look, we offer a pocket made from the same fabric as the vest.

Shirt

There are three known shirt (skjorte) variations for the Trønderbunad, each with pre-marked embroidery motifs. Hulda Bunader does not currently offer materials for the shirt.
