Learn more about Schnucki

Simple: we're the real deal. Schnucki Dirndl & Lederhosen is Australia's only authentic Dirndl and Lederhosen shop - the only one in the whole southern hemisphere, in fact. It all started in 2012, when a German mother and her Australian-based daughter looked around Oktoberfest Brisbane and realised there was nowhere in the country to buy proper German Tracht. So they fixed that themselves, launching their first collection in 2013. Every piece is still hand-picked by Mama Schnucki, straight from the traditional clothing fair in Salzburg each year, so what lands in your wardrobe is authentic - not a costume. And whatever your shape or size, there's a dirndl or lederhosen at Schnucki with your name on it, ready to ship worldwide from Schnucki Land in Brisbane.

Tracht is the German word for traditional folk dress - think proper Bavarian and Alpine style, not a fancy-dress version of it. It's what you'll spot head-to-toe at Oktoberfest: the dirndl for the ladies, lederhosen for the blokes, each one steeped in genuine history and craftsmanship. Real Tracht, not a costume - that's the whole point. At Schnucki, every dirndl and lederhosen is exactly that: authentic Tracht, hand-picked by Mama Schnucki herself in Germany.

No stress - head to the Schnucki Size Charts page for detailed measurements across the range, so you can match your own measurements to the right size before you buy.
