Authentic handmade Lefkaritiko embroidery in a plexiglas frame. The embroidery is made with white thread on a linen cloth and its inner features are «kare» with «koftes» and «anevata", whereas the outer round «Tsimpi».

Lefkaritiko embroidery is made of natural materials, with a single thread without knot tying and it's hard to say which side is the good one, as both sides look-alike.

Lefkaritiko embroidery is included in the list of UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage representatives and is considered to be the elite of embroidery art in Cyprus. Its name comes from its place of origin, the community of Lefkara.
