The National Centre RUSSIA showcases unique handcrafted items from artisans and designers across various regions. One of the main symbols of the Orenburg region is the famous down shawl: weightless and elegant. You can purchase this accessory, along with other down products, including unique Christmas ornaments, at the Department Store.

The creations of Anna Sovetova were highly popular at the International RUSSIA EXPO. As one of the bestsellers, they found their place on the shelves of the Department Store. Here, Anna presents a collection of designer shawls, gloves, and Christmas decorations.

"In my work, I follow one principle: I create things that I would like to wear myself, here and now, in our time. I use the down shawl because it is incredibly beautiful — it embodies mathematical precision, strictness, and wisdom. The down shawl allows us to reimagine what was created before us in a new, modern way," Anna explains.

The designer believes that the down shawl perfectly complements any outfit or style. It can be worn to business or romantic meetings, as part of everyday or festive attire.

Anna Sovetova is well-known far beyond the Orenburg region. Her works made from the traditional Orenburg down shawl have traveled almost the entire world.

The National Centre RUSSIA was established by order of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, to preserve the legacy of the International RUSSIA EXPO and to showcase the achievements of the country and its citizens on a permanent basis. Federal government agencies, state companies, corporations, and regions take part in the Centre’s work.

The National Centre RUSSIA is located at 14 Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment, Moscow. The Centre is open from 10:00 to 20:00 every day except Monday.
