Sami clothing
Sami clothing, traditionally worn by the Sami people, is designed for both functionality and cultural expression. Made from materials like reindeer skin, wool, and cotton, these garments are often brightly colored and adorned with intricate patterns. The clothing is well-suited for the cold climates of the Sápmi region, which spans parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia.
The most recognizable piece of Sami clothing is the gákti, a tunic that varies in style and color depending on the wearer's region and family heritage. Accessories such as hats, belts, and boots are also important, often featuring traditional designs that reflect the wearer’s identity and connection to their heritage.
