Aditi Mauči

The book introduces a somewhat forgotten Latvian treasure - hand joint warming bracelets or mauči. In the 20th century, they were known all over Latvia - the most sought after ones can be found in the Kurzeme region. At that... time, mauči were worn on the sleeves of linen shirts that had no cuffs, so that the ends of the sleeves fit snugly against the arm. Nowadays, mauči are experiencing a renaissance as they serve not only practical but also decorative functions.
