Preserved by its long isolation, the Upper Svaneti region of the Caucasus is an exceptional example of mountain scenery with medieval-type villages and tower-houses. The village of Chazhashi still has more than 200 of these very unusual houses, which were used both as dwellings and as defence posts against the invaders who plagued the region.

GEORGIAN NATIONAL CLHOTES

traditional costumes in Georgia were formed by the influence of nature and way of life in this country.

Every man was a warrior, a farmer and a shepherd at the same time. And every woman was (and still is) a housewife, but there are very strict rules to the behaviour of Georgian women. They must be modest and devout. Traditionally they couldn't show their body to strange men, only to their husbands. That's why national men costumes tend to be comfortable and warm, and women costumes in Georgia tend to be hooded and modest, but very beautiful and feminine. Nowadays these rules are not so strict, but national clothing still displays Georgian traditions and laws.

Traditional Georgian clothing was distributed until the end of 19th-the beginning of 20th centuries.

Georgian national men's costumes Traditional men's costumes in Georgia consist of an undershirt (it is named "piranha"), underpants "sheidishy", wide trousers "sharvali" and a kind of jacket named chokha. Chokha is the most interesting and iconic Georgian piece of clothing. It is made of wool (black, grey, white, blue, red or brown fabric), it has long sleeves and laps, and it must have a belt with a stiletto on it.

Georgian national women's costumes Traditional women's clothing in Georgia is very beautiful. It is a long dress called "kartuli", tightly belted, with ornate bodice and long laps. The belt is beautifully decorated, almost floor-length.

Georgian headdress needs special attention. It consists of "lechaki" (triangle white veil of tulle), "kopi" (thin bolster made of silk and cotton), "chikhta" (cardboard rim sewed with velvet), "baghdadi" (dark kerchief), and "chadri" (large calico veil, that covers the whole body with the exception of face or only eyes.
