In 1894, on the occasion of the wedding of Emperor Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna, the Orenburg Cossack women presented the young empress with a special gift—a delicate, openwork down-filled shawl.
It was a true work of art: the craftswomen worked on the shawl for two years, knitting nearly two million loops. It was presented in a jewelry box custom-made in Carl Fabergé’s workshop.
At that time, the Orenburg down shawl definitively cemented its status as a unique national treasure and a gift of the highest order.
Times change, but the status of this symbol remains the same. It is a gift with a history that conveys impeccable taste, deep meaning, and respect for traditions.
