Description
The characteristic Cretan woven backpack necessary in the daily life of Cretans.
This woolen bag, handmade on the loom, is carried on the back, serving various uses.
It has laces – “bastagia” which are braided with four-strand thread to hang on the shoulders just like the backpack.
The bourges are dominated by the geometric decoration which covers the whole.
The best bourgeoisie, along with a silk scarf, was the groom’s first gift when the engagement took place.
Bourgeois is now used in weddings to put in the “gifts” that the guests give to the couple, but also as a souvenir to the visitors of our island.
