Designers at the ‘Bat Zuu’ company have sewed a 14m long and 18 m wide ‘Hunnu’ deel – the size of a six-story building. For three months, over 50 designers have been working on the world’s biggest deel. The giant deel (tunic) will go on show on Sukhbaatar square during the ‘Deeltei Mongol’ festival which will be held on 10^th of July.

The festival is always one of the biggest public events in UB during the Naadam days. The cultural show is comprised of a folk music concert, a fashion parade and contest as well as a fair of Mongolian traditional costumes. Designers from Mongol Costumes LLC, ‘Shilmel Zagvar’ LLC and Inner Mongolian designer Shurnee will show their collections.

“Deeltei Mongol” attracts many foreign tourists and Mongolians alike. The “deel” (pronounced ‘del’) is the traditional Mongolian garment and is made of silk and, in the case of a winter deel, of sheepskin. Styles and colours differ from region to region.
