In her works, she adds unusual details to traditional felt kalpaks and sometimes includes small inscriptions or wishes inside for those who will become their owners.
Alamanova believes that the kalpak should not remain just an attribute of holidays but should become part of everyday life. The artisan hopes that her creativity will help make this headwear more popular among young people and representatives of creative professions.
“I dream of the kalpak being worn not only on holidays or on the Day of the Kalpak. It is a comfortable and beautiful headwear. It would be wonderful if it were worn more often in everyday life — by young people, artists, and creative individuals,” shares Alamanova.
