Welcome to my folk clothing archive!

Please read this first!

Hello! Just wanted to say i'm an illustrator first and very very bad at writing SO the articles on here are for visual reference and do not go in depth about the histories of the articles of clothing. I will try to provide links to external articles that do though. There seems to be lots of detailed well documented and centralized archives of European and lots of Asian folk clothing but finding detailed archives for Latin American, African, or SWANA folk clothing is kind of a nightmare (at least on English speaking internet LOL) So the purpose of this website is to be a centralized archive for all folk clothing, again primarily for visual purposes.

This resource follows colonial borders for ease of searching but clothing is separated into ethnic groups residing in those areas. For groups of people residing in multiple states they'll be listed under one of them for ease of browsing. This resource is also not equipped to define what is and isn't an ethnic group, it is going off google and Wikipedia articles LOL

articles are organized by continent then country!
