Being able to buy a vyshyvanka in Kharkiv helps you show your patriotic feeling. Every Ukrainian's wardrobe should hold stylish, quality national dress, which has stayed current for many centuries.

Traditional ornaments and what they mean

An embroidered dress or shirt has carried a particular sacred meaning since ancient times and served as a talisman. The symbols on clothing had great power and protected people in all sorts of situations.

It is a rather interesting fact that every region of our country differed in technique and in the images craftswomen worked onto the cloth. Vyshyvankas in Kharkiv had their own distinctive patterns. Among them were often:

• the tree of life;
• zigzags (meanders);
• floral motifs with buds turned downwards.

A characteristic feature is the dominance of black and red. Thick threads were used, which gave the design a raised look. That relief in the embroidery is exactly the highlight of the region.
