The Orenburg Down Shawl in the Very Heart of Foggy Albion!
Handmade Orenburg down shawls are being shown in London: a knitting master class, with art historian Irina Bushukhina as curator.
The Orenburg down shawl is in London again. The first mentions of the down shawl from Orenburg in the British capital date back to 1851: back then, down items won the attention of the public and medals at an exhibition.
Many years have passed since then, but the Orenburg down shawl has kept its distinctive character and still arouses genuine interest. And thanks to creative people like A. Romantsova, founder and creative director of A La Russe, items made of the legendary goat down keep up with the times.
Visitors to the exhibition will see unique handmade Orenburg down shawls. Anyone who wishes can try their hand at down knitting right on the spot – a knitting master class will be held for them.
The curator of the exhibition in London is Irina Bushukhina, a native of Orenburg, art historian and local historian, author of a famous book about the Orenburg down shawl, who has made a great contribution to its glory all over the world.
