Hi Gypsy-Hippie- Boho Fashion lovers... Our Tzigania non-profit org is about educating and therefore we love to share and help change misconceptions… FYI: the Roma–Gypsy headscarf (“dilko”) is an extremely important part of the dress code reflecting indigenous Romani religious values, elegance and vitality

Headscarves stand in as the wedding ring at the marriage ceremony. The wedding day changing of the hair style is the moment she throws off her childhood ribbons and becomes a woman - and therefore the chosen style and color has an extremely important and personal significance. The elegance factor reflects her role as wife - mother and future matriarch of the clan – while the excessive color, pattern and sparkle (all that “bling”) represents the vitality and fertility of her womanhood.

Tzigania Project is where East (The preserved Rromani traditions) meets West (the Bohemians). Its an old re-invented relationship beginning over 150 years ago after the “starving artist” began settling into the low-rent district, aka the Gypsy neighborhood, and the bohemian said to the Gypsy – “hey, I like how that looks on you..” and the rest is history
