New York Times & BBC rave about Hip Dirndls and Alpine Fashion (Tracht)

The New York Times and the BBC have recently published articles on how Dirnds, that sexy dress with the apron that the Bavarians and Austrian women have been wearing for centuries, has made a huge comeback to high street fashion in the Alpine lands of Europe.

What is super cool, is that Alpen Schatz probably carries the trendiest Dirndl selection in the whole of North America - getting fresh supplies in each Autumn and Spring to ensure we are "in" with the latest Alpine fashion designers in Europe.
