The xhubleta is an undulating, bell-shaped folk skirt, traditionally worn by Albanian women in northern Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia and Montenegro. It is a garment that survived from ancient times exclusively in Albanian inhabited territories, and it is a unique type of dress for its particular shape, structure, and decorating system. There are two types of xhubleta: one is narrow and the other is large. The Xhubleta was included in the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding by UNESCO in 2022.
