A study of the Russian costume and household
items was carried out. It is proved that folk art of
embroidery has deep artistic and craft traditions
and historical roots and is a special socio-cultural
type of folk culture. The ornaments were one of the
characteristic features of Russian clothing, its
technical techniques of embroidery, specific
ornamental motifs and colors, which determine its
originality, being, as it were, a passport of culture,
its historical path, intercultural and interethnic ties.

embroidery of costume complexes, related to
archaism, is the value of Russian folk culture at
historical stages as universal values. The nature
and quantity of embroidery, even the semantic
meaning of ornamental patterns, depended on the
expediency, characteristic of folk clothes, on
reasons of economy, age and local differences, and

North-West region of Russia. People piously observed
the laws of their fathers and grandfathers. The
