The collection includes traditional pockets, vests and embroidered shirts with elements of various holiday symbols. In particular, the image of a goat, which is the main character during the winter holidays, or the image of a star, which is a permanent attribute of the Christmas caroling ritual.
“A carol broke out of the night!”, writes the poet Vasyl Herasymiuk. Once upon a time, these lines were perceived in an entirely different way than they are today. Because now our tradition seems to be breaking out of the dark reality and resonates despite everything.
It can be noted that clothing for Ukrainians is a way of expressing their views, values, and self-identification. Depending on the region and ritual, Ukrainian dress differs, but it provides common features.
That is why we have created a collection that reveals the spirit of Ukrainian holidays, which we honor and continue to honor even in dark times.
