Here is  Eirin's grandmother interview about old times clothes in Lamia

In our region we used to caltivate cotton. There were a lot of factories for the further processing.
We visited the cooperative factory of the cotton ginning plant, which is located not far from Lamia. All the cotton production from our region is exported. Due the financial crisis almost all the textile factories of Greece are closed.

We also  visited the last  small factory which uses traditional methods for the leather elaboration.
