Chilce is a traditional women’s headpiece, characteristic of the ethnographic group of Ukrainians known as the Hutsuls, as well as some other Slavic peoples. It is worn across the forehead and is an essential part of Hutsul bridal attire, also used by girls during festive celebrations.
Chilce is widely worn among the Hutsuls, and many researchers believe that the tradition of wearing it dates back to the princely era, when Byzantine fashion was popular in Ukraine. The Hutsul chilce not only highlights the beauty and craftsmanship of local artisans but also symbolizes pride in a rich cultural heritage.
