Snow-white towels and a napkin with a woven ornament. The ornament (Alatyr) is made with shiny threads, giving these wedding towels a festive look. The woven ornament up close resembles satin stitch embroidery but is much more affordable.
An embroidered towel is an important attribute of Ukrainian celebrations and rituals. In the old days, all significant events in a person's life and major religious holidays were associated with it. Even today, Christmas and Easter are not complete without the use of a ritual towel.
Embroidered towels are also often used for decoration in thematic restaurants. Towels with embroidery on the walls help create the atmosphere of an old Ukrainian tavern.
