Delmonas

Delmonas (or Dalmonas, plural delmonai) – is a detail of folk costume of women originated in Lithuania Minor.

[2] Also some meaningful quotes, dates or initials, sometimes figurines could be embroided on a rectangle, rounded, flare, wavy bottom, trapezium, multiangular or other shape pocket.

However, during various political turmoil women of Lithuania Minor started to wear dalmonai secretly.

They would be hidden under the skirt and used to hide money, documents or letters, especially for women who were willing or forced to leave their homeland.

Being used as a sign of Lithuania Minor identity, delmonai are also used as a modern accessory, continuing the uninterrupted production in Klaipėda region.
