Clothing and accessories

National dress makes for an original and memorable souvenir. You can choose a traditional burka — a felt cloak worn by shepherds in the highlands. You can also bring home a papakha — the iconic Caucasian fur hat, an essential part of the mountain dweller’s image. Women may want to try a kaz — a unique white shawl often adorned with golden embroidery or fringe. Many of them are still hand-embroidered.
