The fashion of Cieszyn, a multicultural city where several important trade routes meet, is rooted in the Renaissance. The sophisticated female costume was chiefly made of high-quality and costly fabrics, replete with gilded embroidery and precious jewellery. Making the outfit even more "glam" were round or heart-shaped pins used to fasten the collar of the typical white shirt (called a kabotek) and the silver Cieszyn belts which had delicate chains (called trzepotki) attached to them. All the ornaments were cast and designed by goldsmiths from the Cieszyn region
