OUR STORY

Vira Cherniak is a passionate entrepreneur dedicated to sharing the beauty of Ukrainian culture with the world. Through our Etsy store, we offer a wide range of authentic Ukrainian products—from traditional clothing to unique gifts—that not only showcase the rich artistry of our heritage but also tell the stories of different regions across Ukraine.

Founder’s Vision

Inspired seven years ago at a Kyiv conference at KPI, Vira was motivated by e-commerce expert Alexander Radich to pursue her dream. By following his advice on Facebook and attending webinars, as well as learning from industry insights on the Western Bid YouTube channel, she discovered that success comes from selling what you love. This passion drives our commitment to presenting the finest in Ukrainian craftsmanship.

Embracing Challenges

After February 24, the onset of war brought unprecedented challenges. Production in multiple cities came to a halt, logistics were disrupted, and inventory dwindled. To adapt, we extended our shipping timeframe to 2–8 weeks and personally communicated with every customer about potential delays. The overwhelming support and understanding from our clients allowed us to navigate these tough times and continue sharing our heritage.

Our Products & Craftsmanship

We specialize in Ukrainian gifts, with a focus on clothing such as dresses and embroidered shirts. Every item is lovingly crafted by skilled artisans with decades of experience. Our products are more than just items for sale—they are a celebration of Ukraine’s artistic traditions and a way to experience the unique beauty of our culture.

Personalized Service & Customer Connection

We believe that every piece of embroidery deserves a personal touch. Our team works closely with each customer, gathering precise measurements and sharing the cultural significance behind every design. This dialogue not only ensures a perfect fit but also connects our clients with the history and soul of Ukraine, making each purchase a deeply personal experience.

Our Partnership

We are proud to work with Western Bid, a partner known for their reliability, low commissions, and exceptional customer service. Their dedicated support, whether from our Kyiv office or their international teams, has been crucial in ensuring that every order is handled with care and delivered as quickly as possible—even in the most challenging circumstances.

A Community of Heritage & Support

Over the years, with more than nine thousand sales, we have received countless touching stories from customers around the globe. From cherished memories of home to rediscovering family traditions, our products have the power to evoke deep emotions and bring people closer to their roots. Each order is a testament to the enduring spirit of Ukrainian culture.
