The symmetry and balance of the design, symbolise balance, unity and harmony in both life and nature. A design that reflects the natural order of all things.

Floral or vine patterns in the design, are commonly used in embroidery across Romania. These patterns symbolise growth, fertility and a deep connection to the land.

In traditional embroidery, colours often carry meaning... blue thread, particularly a deep indigo blue, is commonly associated with tranquility, protection and spirituality. It is often used in folk art to ward of negative energies and symbolises peace and clarity.
