Title A name given to the resource Traditional shoulder bag Type The nature or genre of the resource Physical Object Description An account of the resource The components that define the image of the traditional costume are the traiste (shoulder bags) and desagi (saddle bags). These items serve both a functional-utilitarian and an informational-aesthetic role. Their purpose and usability distinguish them as trăistuțe (small bags), traiște (larger shoulder bags), and desagi (saddle bags). The variation within this group of items was determined by criteria such as size, color, ornamentation, and the raw materials used. Based on the materials from which they were made, traiste and desagi could be crafted from hemp, wool, or finely woven wool (lâniță). The way these bags were carried also differed. Trăistuțele and traiștele were worn over the shoulder or diagonally, in a style called "arcește". Desagi, on the other hand, were carried bilaterally, either over the shoulder or across a saddle. They were most commonly made from a single integral piece of fabric. Trăistuțele and traiștele were complemented by baieră, brâu, or bată, which helped support and carry them over the shoulder . These straps could be made by twisting multiple threads together, weaving them with two heddles, or handpicking the patterns. Some trăistuțe and desagi featured pave (folded extensions) that made them more spacious. Trăistuțele were an essential accessory for children, especially for those attending school, as they were used to carry textbooks and other school supplies at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. According to field informants, trăistuțele were also used by children when they went Christmas carolling (colindatul) and New Year’s Eve wishing (uratul), where they collected the gifts offered by the householders as tokens of goodwill and prosperity.
