The name gwando comes from the Bavarian dialect word “Gwand,” which simply means traditional dress or garment. For us, it represents authenticity and home. We bring this piece of Bavarian tradition directly to you—making it easy, accessible, and stylish
Did you know that the glamorous Dirndl started as simple workwear? In the 19th century, it was the everyday dress of maids and farm women. It wasn’t until later that city dwellers and even aristocracy discovered the style for their summer holidays in the Alps.
Today, Tracht (traditional clothing) is worn by everyone in Munich—whether at the Oktoberfest, weddings, or family gatherings. It is a symbol of community and celebration.
