Fifteen years ago, the founders of KOZA DEREZA began exploring the symbolism and meaning behind Ukrainian embroidery. During this journey, they encountered the works of Volodymyr Pidhirnyak, who authored a book on the art of coding in Ukrainian embroidery. Volodymyr’s grandmother, a cryptographer for the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), encoded secret messages into embroidered patterns worn by couriers, slipping them past Soviet intelligence unnoticed. In 2009, Volodymyr visited Ternopil and conducted a workshop for us on this unique coding technique. Since then, we’ve encoded countless names, wishes, and prayers into our embroidery.

The ornament of the women’s embroidered shirt NEZLAMNI (“Unbreakable”) contains words that have always been a spiritual foundation for Ukrainians: “Struggle” and “Freedom.”

The model is wearing size M and is 172 cm tall.
