About the Marie Aaen Bunad

The Marie Aaen bunad is one of two designs selected as the official festive bunad for Østerdalen. Designed by Maria Aaen from Tynset, it draws inspiration from traditional decorative painting.

Key characteristics:

  • Embroidery inspired by rosemaling from Olenstua in Alvdal
  • Available in green and black versions
  • Traditionally paired with distinct aprons depending on color

This material kit brings those same decorative elements into a smaller, functional piece—perfect as part of a complete bunad.

A Meaningful Handcraft Project

This kit allows you to take part in Norwegian craft tradition by creating your own bunad pocket. It combines authenticity, creativity, and craftsmanship—resulting in a personal and meaningful accessory.
