Vita Kin

Fashion designer and photographer Vita Kin first took inspiration for her label from traditional Ukrainian embroidered garments called vyshyvankais. More recent collections are made up of relaxed silhouettes all featuring intricate appliqué patterns and folkloric embroidery. Each piece is crafted by hand in the Kyiv atelier, so the meticulous workmanship justifies the punchy price point.
