“Nazeni” Bridal Belt

The traditional Armenian belt, known as “գոտի” (goti) in Armenian, holds significant cultural and historical value in the context of Armenian national attire. It serves both practical and symbolic purposes and is characterized by diverse designs that vary across regions and historical periods.

Historically, the “goti” was an integral part of the taraz, the traditional Armenian garment, and continues to be worn today during folk dances, cultural celebrations, and weddings. The belt’s enduring presence highlights its importance in preserving Armenia’s rich cultural heritage.
