One of the main elements of our costumes is the Vyshyvanka — a Ukrainian embroidered shirt that serves as national clothing and an important talisman.
Today is International Vyshyvanka Day, which aims to preserve the Ukrainian folk traditions of creating and wearing this ethnic embroidered piece of clothing.
Vyshyvankas are worn both for celebrations and in everyday life, with each embroidered pattern reflecting a specific region and carrying its own symbolic meaning.
