Felt jackets, vests, and coats are a current fashion trend in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. Felt slippers and bags are popular souvenirs for visitors to this region. Wool felting is a traditional Ossetian craft, passed down from generation to generation through the female line. The work of skilled craftswomen was highly valued at that time. Girls were taught how to handle wool from an early age. The older ones carded the wool, while the younger ones learned how to wash, clean, and felt. Felt products are durable and environmentally friendly. The famous mountain hats, felt boots, and burkas were extremely popular among the local population. Over time, the need for them disappeared, but today the craft is experiencing a renaissance. Modern ateliers and showrooms create unique felt products: warm, lightweight, beautiful, to suit every taste and color.
