The art of making peasant sandals (movie)

Doina Mușat, craftsman: “The sandals always represented an important piece for Romanians.The Romanian sandals represent a heritage from the Dacians.

I discovered with great interest and satisfaction on a mannequin that was dressed in a Dacian costume the sandals – a little different from the ones that we know, a little different from the ones I make, but for which I have special attention and concern in my attempt to reproduce them.

The sandals always accompanied the ones who wanted to prove that they are true Romanians and lovers of the tradition.

He (n.n. Dumitru Dan) broke 497 pairs of sandals in his journey. Everywhere he would go, people would admire his national costume and especially his sandals.”
