Leonardo Carbone — Garb for Markets, LARP, and Camp Life
There's a crucial difference between costume and garb: one you wear for an evening, the other for a whole camp weekend — in the rain, by the fire, and through the third mug of mead. Leonardo Carbone is one of the established makers for exactly that second category: medieval and Viking garb that combines a historical look with everyday-tough construction. At Elbenwald you'll find a broad selection from the brand — dresses, tunics, blouses, pants, coats, and accessories for women and men. Whether it's a market visit, a LARP character, or a medieval-themed wedding: this is where the wardrobe comes together that makes your role believable and holds up outdoors all day.
What sets Leonardo Carbone apart?
The balance of look and practicality. The cuts draw on historical models from the early to late Middle Ages, but favor wearer-friendly details and durable fabrics — garb, in other words, made to move in. Then there's the range: from a simple undergarment to the Viking dress to the heavy cloak, a complete outfit can be put together from a single brand, all matching in color. And because many models come in several colors and sizes, even a whole camp group can find their outfits here. Which materials are used in each piece is listed on the respective product page — feeling the fabric yourself is still up to you. Beginners especially benefit from this building-block approach: start with a tunic, pants, and a belt, then expand the outfit piece by piece later without breaking the style.
