Collection
Zharko cares about the environment, so it creates limited collections mainly from natural or recycled fabrics. It also recycle all models that were not sold out and create collections from used jeans, which are completely reworked into the new “denim mesh” knitting technique.
Its collections are devoted to Ukrainian identity in detail. They are limited, focused on freedom of speech, free flight, and breathing under a peaceful sky. The main thing in the collections is hand embroidery of slogans and phrases, symbols of Ukraine. Also, in our collections, we use a traditional Ukrainian, ancient symbol—ornament in detail, showing that Ukraine lives in each of us. In our collections, Ukrainian values acquire new meanings.
