The national costume: Kystdrakten

Kystdrakten was originally made for women. It is prepared by Marry Hunnestad Schjetne. After a few years Eva Ramberg Mo took over and developed the female suit and the model made for men. From 1989, the people along the coast of Norway acquired the suit, and the number of suits passed the total of 10,000 a few years ago.

Kystdrakten is made of wool and is embellished with embroidery of coastal flowers and the bird tern. The shirts are made of white cotton, with embroidery of the Norwegian Krekling. The women suit consists of skirt with a bib and braces.
