A tote bag is made of dense cotton fabric by a local seamstress. The print is made by hands of Viki Virgo in ancient technique that was used in Ukraine, called “vybiyka”.
 
Vybiyka is a type of decorative art that was widespread throughout Ukraine. This way people created various ornaments on canvas with the help of special carved wooden forms and paints. It was used to decorate household textile items and clothes. We decided to recreate  this ancient technique on modern things like this cotton tote bag.
 
Birds occupy a special place in the hearts of Ukrainians, which is why they can often be seen in folk art, such as vybiyka.
