ABOUT THE BRAND
Founded in 2012, the Khrystyna Rachytska brand brings the richness of Ukrainian folk art into contemporary fashion through handcrafted clothing, embroidery, and accessories. Each piece is a blend of traditional techniques and modern aesthetics, made with natural materials and meticulous attention to detail. The brand celebrates the beauty of Ukrainian national attire, reinterpreting it for today’s world.
THE DESIGNER’S STORY
Designer Khrystyna Rachytska draws inspiration from her deep-rooted family history and the women who passed down skills in embroidery, storytelling, and craftsmanship. Her journey began in childhood and evolved through her studies at the Academy of Arts, where she discovered embroidery as both a personal and cultural expression. Her work is a tribute to generations of Ukrainians who preserved their identity through art, even in times of struggle.
LEGACY & CRAFTSMANSHIP
Each garment and accessory carries a connection to the past, reviving traditional stitches, authentic patterns, and regional jewelry forms like the kryza and beaded necklaces. The brand uses only natural materials such as linen, wool, silk, and hemp, enriched with historic techniques and hand-finished elements. These creations not only honor heritage but also invite a global audience to experience the soul of Ukrainian culture.
