Part of the Østerdal Bunad Tradition

The bunad pocket is an important accessory in the Østerdal bunad. Traditionally, the bunad consists of:

  • Bodice (liv)
  • Skirt (stakk)
  • Shirt
  • Apron
  • Pocket

The embroidered pocket often reflects stylistic influences from the Rococo period, while other elements of the bunad are inspired by 19th-century dress traditions.

Some bunads use embroidered pockets like this one, while others may use pockets made from the same fabric as the bodice—allowing for variation within tradition.

A Meaningful Handcraft Project

This kit allows you to take part in Norwegian craft tradition by creating your own bunad pocket. It combines embroidery, sewing, and cultural heritage into a project that results in a personal and lasting piece.
