mirelha: Breton folk motifs by the Le Minor family III - Table cloths, scarves and fashion (1960 - 1980): “Gwalarn”, table-cloth designed by LeMinor. “Locmaria”, named after the Neolithic site of the same name, in Morbihan, lower-east Brittany. Scarf designed by Pierre Tulhoat. “Koadigoù” (little forests), designed by Pierre Tulhoat in the 1960’s. “Penmarc’h” (head/leader of the horse- the name of a town), designed by Pierre Tulhoat. A study by Pierre Péron (another famous painter member of the Seiz Breur movement) for a scarf designed for the sailors of Groix island. One of the many “Glazik” table cloths Pierre Tulhoat designed. These are traditional Breton motifs you can find everywhere. Usually, they are embroidered in gold thread on black cloth (usually velvet or wool), but I guess he wanted to modernize the concept. A photo by Jacques Bosser, a contemporary artist. Photo taken in 2008, titled “Bigoudennes”.

mirelha: A traditional Breton cap from the region of Cornouailles, where I come from, as you can guess by the intricate gold embroideries. Caps like these were worn by children before their “coming of age”. These caps had pompoms for girls and a tassel for boys.Here, the Le Minor manufacturers decided to modernize these caps by creating an androgynous model for adults. I really love this one :)
