13 items from Ukrainian brands that deserve attention

The war has made it difficult, and in some cases impossible, for many local brands to operate. In spite of this, some of them have already adapted production to the new conditions, sewing for military needs and presenting new drops, somehow dedicated to the theme of war and resistance of the Ukrainian people.

We made a selection of 13 of these items from Ukrainian brands. By buying them, you can support not only a particular team, but also the AFU or humanitarian foundations — most of the brands featured in this post donate funds to charity

PROTO х DTF MAGAZINE

PROTO 3 UNRELEASED Longsleeve

₴ 2 000

This is a joint charity drop by DTF Magazine and the Protoprojects brand.

The collaboration was supposed to be released in a pop-up store at DTF Magazine Week in the former «Ukraine» Cinema back in March 2020, but plans were thwarted by the coronavirus pandemic.

One of the key accents of the capsule is the print, which depicts iconic places of Kyiv in the style of Japanese engravings. Also, each longsleeve is hand-dyed using the garment dyed method (this may cause artifacts like pigmentation spots on the fabric).

Minus the cost of production, all earnings (1,500 UAH from each unit sold) will be donated to the «Come Back Alive» fund.
