Fustanela Pendant

The Fustanela, a distinctive and historically significant garment, found its place in the annals of Greek history during the War of Independence against Turkish invaders. While its origins can be traced back to the costume worn in ancient Greece, it gained prominence in its modern form during the later years of the Byzantine Empire. Some historians suggest that it might have been introduced to the Greeks by Albanians in the 14th century. This attire, reminiscent of a kilt, symbolized a man's strength and valor. It reflected the rich tapestry of influences that shaped modern Greece, with elements from Albania, the Ottoman Empire, and classical traditions.
