strive - Austria / II. Republic of Austria 2016 - 630 Euro Cent

A very special novelty: the world's first stamp in silhouettes embroidery in the traditional form of a dirndl. The Dirndl brand captivates in the truest sense of the word through its special production. The Vorarlberg company Hämmerle & x; x; Vogel, based in Lustenau and a specialist in embroidery art at the highest level, is responsible for the design and manufacture. Each brand is made from around 40 meters of thread in three colors. The embroidered silhouette, the different colors and different stitches make the dirndl look vivid and at the same time delicate and airy. Even the drapery is recognizable. The delicate blouse is held in broken white, as well as the apron, which has a different stitch type. The red dirndl dress and the likewise embroidered "Austria" inscription make this a red-white-red little work of art. The apron bow and the face value of the stamp in green are a special eye-catcher. Hammers x; Vogel is a Vorarlberg-based family-owned company that has been producing high-quality embroidery for international clients for over 100 years, including fashion houses such as Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Victoria's Secret and Agent Provocateur. For the dirndl brands a total of 5.6 million meters of thread were used. Hammers x; Vogel has already produced several embroidery stamps for the Austrian Post: an edelweiss and an gentian motif as well as a petit-point embroidery.
