Setesdalsbunad
Setesdalsbunad (lit. 'bunad from Setesdal') is a traditional bunad (folk costume) from Setesdal, Norway. It is a traditional costume based on the costume traditions from Valle Municipality, Bykle Municipality, and Bygland Municipality in the upper Setesdal valley areas of Agder county. In addition, this costume is one of the oldest costumes that have been used continuously for years, both in everyday life and for party use. The bunad has male and female versions with similar design and decorations. Today, the Setesdalsbunad remains as an outfit that is used to mark special occasions, including the Norwegian Constitution Day on 17 May each year. The female version of the Setesdalsbunad is a dress and the male version is a suit that is characterized by the back part which partially is made of leather.[1][2][3]
