Fabric from Chișinău, Moldova brought to you by traveler Sarah Shockley.
"In my search for fabric in Chișinău, I discovered a 4 story department store called Gemenii. The top floor is a huge space divided into stalls, each overflowing with fabric. I spoke with several vendors requesting a traditional fabric, and they all recommended the same one. The design resembles the patterns used in some of their traditional dress." —Sarah Shockley
