These are called “Dimije” and are 65 years old, worn by women of the Serbian ethnic minority in the region of Prizren. They are made of Zenane fabric (Sfilla) and are intended to be in light colours for young, newly wedded women, while older women wear darker colours.
The leggings, known as “Pachallëk,” are made of cardboard and a fabric that is treated to be firm and strong, so they can be displayed and hold the pairs of the fabric down.

This is an Albanian traditional outfit set worn by men, made of white sheep's wool. It includes trousers called "zhguni,", a pair of Opinga made of cow skin and a waistband.
The usual colours in Albanian traditional outfits are white, black, and red, symbolising the Albanian national flag (red and black), while the white symbolises peace.
