The Orenburg downy shawl is rightfully considered one of the most famous symbols of Russia. The gorgeous lace and high quality of shawls are compared to works of art and are recognized all over the world. He is so famous that the song of the same name, performed by the incomparable Lyudmila Zykina, is even dedicated to him.

The first downy shawls appeared in Orenbuzh region about 250 years ago. Not only the craftswomen of that time had a hand in their creation, but also scientists, researchers, art critics. Each of them contributed their own bit of knowledge to the appearance of the magnificent lace, which we know and love to this day.

It is believed that goat down products are the thinnest in the world. In this regard, it is not difficult to check the quality of the scarf: a real downy scarf will easily pass through the ring or fit into a goose egg.



One craftswoman can weave 2 cobwebs or three stoles in a month. It can take more than 2 months to make a scarf with an artistic pattern, depending on the complexity of the product.

Many foreign celebrities did not remain indifferent to the art of the Orenburg craftsmen. At one of her concerts in Moscow, Fergie performed in a white downy shawl, while Madonna, Montserrat Caballe and French actress Anya Girardeau kept down souvenirs from Orenburg as a keepsake of their trip to Russia.

Nowadays it is difficult to confuse the weaving of the Orenburg downy shawl with something else. It stands out among the soulless mass of scarves and shawls for its beauty and unique lace pattern.



In the frosty season, girls again and again have to look for the best clothing option that combines beauty and comfort. The designers of the Orenburg Downy Shawl brand and the LeDiLe jewelry brand decided to illustrate the solution to this problem.

In a thematic photo session, timed to coincide with the release of a new joint jewelry collection of stamps, the main characters appear against the backdrop of an industrial metropolis in down products and jewelry, as if woven from threads of silver lace.
