Ukrainian embroidery is an ancient art passed down through generations and thriving today. With distinct motifs and colors, traditional embroidered blouses are strongly tied to Ukrainian identity and are frequently worn for celebrations and special occasions. This tradition continues in the United States. My collection is designed for free-spirited individuals whose confident style seamlessly blends city and country life.
