The history of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka is over a thousand years old. For many centuries, the embroidered shirt was used by Ukrainians in their everyday life, but at the same time, due to different ornaments and colours, it was considered as a talisman, a symbol of health and beauty, as a protection against bad luck, failures and diseases. In the center of Odessa, "Nezalezhni" shop offers the largest selection of embroideries and Ukrainian souvenirs.
Vyshyvanka is no longer an outfit from grandmother's wardrobe, which is taken out as a family heirloom. Modern embroidered Vyshyvanka is beautiful, lightweight and comfortable clothes. For Vyshyvanka a natural materials that are ideal for the summer heat: cotton, linen are mainly used.
