Norwegian traditional folk costumes
Norwegian bunad
 Also called "bunad"; - bu, is old norse for to live, and -nad, something like "what is to it". Norway consists of about 20 counties, or " fylker" - fylke means about the same as german "volks". The 20 fylker are roughly congruent to the old lesser Norwegian kingdoms. Each fylke has its costume. No bunads is exactly alike. I just posted a few of those that I like. Link to pics of bunad The standardisations are of rather new origin, less than 150-200 years, but their styles, colors and patterns springs out of old local traditions.       picture source    Last edited by Savage; Tuesday, May 9th, 2006 at 01:50.
