Hangeroc Svanhild, red

Product description

The hangeroc was a type of dress that Vikings and other early medieval European cultures wore over a slip dress. Women combined a slip dress and hangeroc that both contrasted in colour, like natural and red for example, or yellow with green. Ladies also wore colourful strings of beads connected by two turtle brooches. With their clothing and accessories, Viking women wore a beautiful contrasting colour palette and demonstrated their wealth through their accessories and the type of colours they chose. The slip dress always had to show above the hangeroc as well, to emphasise the colour contrast. Women also wore a belt over the hangeroc upon which they could hang useful items for daily use, such as keys, a pouch with silver, a knife, and so forth. The top and bottom of this luxurious hangeroc are finished with a beautiful band displaying a decorative woven pattern. The hangeroc may be put on over the head and fastened with the laces on the side.
