The bigouden Costume.

Les costumes du Pays Bigouden comptent parmi les plus beaux de Bretagne. Traditionnellement c’étaient les hommes qui réalisaient les broderies. Mais les derniers artisans de cette corporation ont disparu dans les années 1960. Les motifs des broderies, de couleurs solaires, jaune et orangé, représentent le plus souvent des plumes de paon (Symbole de l’orgueil), des béliers (symbole de courage), des poissons ou encore la chaîne de vie.



The costumes of the Bigouden land are among the most beautiful of Brittany. Traditionally it was the men who realized the embroideries, but the last artisans of this corporation disappeared in the 1960s. The solar motives - deep orange and yellow - represent mostly peacock’s feathers (Symbol of the pride), rams (symbol of courage), fishes or even the chain of life.
