The place where
Latvian and Lithuanian
artisans meet!

The handicraft group “Māra” brings together the most hard-working and creative knitters of the Bebrene area. Socks, gloves, scarves and other knitted items are made here. The knitters from Bebrene have even made socks and hats for the 2020 collection of the Italian fashion house Neil Barrett. Now, knitted items from Bebrene master knitters are ordered online from all over the world. The knitted items feature many ethnographic patterns from the Selonia region.
