Plisi white felt cap

What it means: Albanian cultural identity and family craftsmanship.

A Kosovo foreign-affairs cultural publication describes the white wool-felt cap at weddings and other celebrations, and the passing down of hat-making within families.

Often chosen for: Love & partnership · Family, home & belonging · Strength & courage · Care, gratitude & remembrance · Curiosity, creativity & wonder

Respectful use: Retain its Albanian cultural context rather than presenting generic Balkan costume. Ancient Roman-origin claims were not sufficiently corroborated. Review rights in specific designs and images separately.
