One of the most intriguing pieces of traditional Serbian women's costume is the embroidered headdress from the Banat region, called the 'kapica'. By looking at this headpiece, one could instantly determine the wearer's marital status and their standing within society. The base materials were highly diverse: durable linen or cotton was used for daily chores, elegant silk was chosen for festivities, and warm velvet was preferred during the winter cold. The finest items in collections are clearly the bridal headdresses crafted for young women's weddings. Banat artisans employed a special gold embroidery technique that made the patterns stand out strikingly from the surface. In the first step, shapes were cut from cardboard and fixed to the cloth using wheat starch paste. Metallic thread was then stretched over this padding and secured in place with a thin guide-thread pulled inwards during stitching. 

Alongside the metallic yarn, the items were adorned with colourful silk, shimmering sequins, and tiny beads. These patterns and techniques continue to inspire fashion designers and textile artists today.
