Traditional Albanian clothing includes more than 200 different kind of clothings in all
Albania and Albanian inhabited lands. This is due to the division the Albanian principalities in the Middle Ages. The Albanian folk dress is often decorated with symbolic elements of antique pagan origin, like suns, eagles, moons, stars, and snakes. Almost every region in Albania has its own traditional dress with women clothing being particularly colorful and rich in detail. Fabrics are traditionally made by
weaving clothes using
looms. To this day, some conservative old men and women mainly from the North wear traditional clothing in their daily lives. Instead, older women from the South usually wear all-black outfits.
