On April 1, 2025, Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway received the Bardu and Målselv bunad from Målselv Municipality at a ceremony held at the municipal building in Moen. Upon arrival, she was welcomed by Mayor Martin Nymo, Youth Council leader Jens Martin Samson Rognli, and Police Chief John-Kåre Granheim.
Mayor Martin Nymo presented the bunad on behalf of the Målselv municipal council. From the late 1700s, many people emigrated to Målselvdalen from Gudbrandsdalen, Østerdalen, Oppdal, and Helgeland. The Bardu and Målselv bunad traces its roots back to the first settlers and is inspired by traditional clothing from these regions.
The national costumes of Norway are simply gorgeous. The floral embroidery looks so delicate, great craftsmanship. An old siluette, but certainly not outdated. What a wonderful and thoughtful gift to the Princess.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. I hope we will see her wear it. (V.M.)
DeleteWhat a beautiful bunad. The workmanship is perfect, must of been a pleasure and satisfying to work on this garment.
ReplyDeleteSuperbe costume pas trop surchargé ; j'adore le style des broderies !
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! I hope we get to see Ingrid Alexandra wearing this beautiful gift some time soon.Janet
ReplyDeleteElle ne porte pas aussi bien l’uniforme que la princesse Leonor.
ReplyDeleteWas this necessary? Sometimes...
DeleteL'Espagne a d'autres uniformes que la Norvège. Jusqu'à présent on a vu la princesse Leonor souvent dans un uniforme de gala à coté de son père, à plusieurs occasions. La princesse Ingrid Alexandra on l'a surtout vu dans son uniforme de travail ou de combat. Pas de comparaison possible.
Deletethe uniform was not necessary for today
ReplyDeleteHer last day of military service is on friday, she must be in uniform.
DeleteYes, it was.
