Handmade Face Cover with MNEMEE from Corfu. It is made from the waist scarf that women wore in Corfu when they were engaged or newlyweds. Also the unmarried wore it on the head and was used in wedding costumes as well as in local dances. The waist scarf is called “tsoutsoumida” and on it are depicted flowers and the characteristic peacock feathers. The outer fabric is the scarf itself made with the traditional stamping technique and adapted to the pattern of the mask.

MNEMEE Face Covers

All face covers are inspired by the tradition and culture of Greece. They are made of fabrics and traditional headscarves, which are the basis of Greek traditional cloths (cotton, silk, brocade, etc.). The baseline of their construction is the diversity of traditional costumes as it is reflected by the differentiation of designs in each type of mask.
