Years run, fashion changes, and these elegant headscarves have been worn by Russian women and continue to be worn for two hundred years. The exquisite designs and ornaments of Pavlovo Posad shawls are constantly being improved, but at the same time the stylistics and traditions laid down by the old masters are carefully preserved. Let's plunge into this bright and multicolored shawl world …
The beginning of this famous folk craft was laid at the end of the 18th century, when the peasant Ivan Labzin founded in the village of Pavlovo, formerly located on the site of the present Pavlovsky Posad, a textile manufactory for the production of woven scarves.
Soon, the scarves and shawls of this factory, thanks to their highest quality, became widely known and were awarded at international exhibitions. The technique used for the production of such scarves was very complicated, unlike European products, they did not have a seamy side - they were two-sided. Starting from the 50s of the XIX century, on the initiative of Yakov Labzin (great-grandson of the founder of the factory) and his partner Vasily Gryaznov, the factory switched to production woolen scarves with a printed pattern, the trading house "Yakov Labzin and Vasily Gryaznov" was founded. It was these bright, colorful shawls that made Pavlovsky Posad famous.
At first, only three colors were used as the base of scarves - black, beetroot and unbleached linen. Floral compositions with an abundance of bright colors were created on them. In the future, the base itself became more diverse (blue, pink, green, brown …).
At the end of the 19th century, the Pavlovo Posad style with its bright floral scattering was finally formed. The most popular flower on these scarves was a rose - a symbol of beauty and love, but the rose is not in itself, but in combination with other very different flowers. The use of modern technologies allows the drawings on scarves to be as close as possible to real, vivid colors.
Another very popular flower is the dahlia; its images on scarves can be of very different colors.
Pavlovo Posad shawls are also decorated with peonies, tulips, lilies.
In addition to garden flowers, which are most often used to create patterns, modest wildflowers such as daisies, cornflowers, bells, forget-me-nots can be found on scarves.
It would seem - a very simple thing - a scarf, a piece of fabric with a pattern. But very sophisticated technologies are used to create it. Previously, the drawing was transferred to the fabric by hand; for this, special carved wooden forms were used: "manners" (for filling the outline of the pattern) and "flowers" (for applying paints to the pattern itself).
Since the beginning of the 70s of the twentieth century, the use of mesh and nylon patterns when applying patterns has greatly facilitated the technology and accelerated the production of printed scarves.
And the process of creating a scarf begins with a drawing, and, of course, the artist creates this miracle. Each scarf has its own artist, who gives the name to the scarf.
One of the most famous is the "Russian Beauty" shawl, the design of which was invented in 1985 by Irina Dadonova. It comes in eight different colors.
The “White Roses” shawl, which began to be produced back in 1953, is not being removed from production either.
The factory's artists are also working on the reconstruction of old drawings.
The factory also produced scarves dedicated to important events in the history of the country.
Here is another very interesting male version released during the First World War - the soldier's award headscarf. Very informative. It shows in every detail the process of disassembling and assembling the rifle.
Bright Pavlovo Posad shawls were used by designers more than once in their collections.
Let's once again admire the multicolored Pavlovo Posad shawls:
