Kyiv Shopping Guide: Ukrainian Brands That Made the City Their Muse

Kyiv turns 1,542 this year. To celebrate, we put together a guide of Ukrainian brands that made the city their actual design inspiration — not just slapped a chestnut on a tote, but built full collections around what Kyiv looks, feels, and means. Everything here ships worldwide.

LITKOVSKA — FIREFLY Collection

LITKOVSKA debuted FIREFLY at Paris Fashion Week AW 2026/27, the brand's first time on the official Paris runway schedule. The collection is dedicated to Kyiv — specifically to the image of people moving through blackout streets with small headlamps, their lights scattered like a fallen sky. It was made in cold ateliers without electricity, in rooms where you could see your breath. The BESAGY BAG, inspired by traditional Ukrainian travel sacks, is the centerpiece of the season.

Support by Poustovit — Chestnut T-Shirts

Iryna Dzhus built this label specifically to support Ukrainian production. Their Chestnut collection includes a black unisex tee with an embroidered chestnut leaf detail (€35) and a white version — both quiet, well-made, and directly tied to the city's symbol.

BEVZA — Kyiv Metro Pendant

A silver pendant shaped like the Kyiv Metro logo. Svitlana Bevza has been designing in Kyiv since 2006, and this piece is one of those things that photographs modestly and lands completely in person.

Dari Jewelry — Chestnut Collection

Earrings, pendants, and sets built around the chestnut leaf and nut. The blackened silver finish makes them feel contemporary rather than souvenir-adjacent. The pendant set (chestnut nut + leaf, 10–20 mm, blackened) is the standout.

Lipper — "Kyiv Cake" Lip Gloss

Named after Ukraine's most iconic dessert — hazelnut, buttercream, zero apologies. A Kyiv-birthday beauty pick that actually makes sense as a gift.

Cultoni — Kyiv Polo & Chestnut Necklace

Cultoni does city-inspired drops that cross clothing and jewelry. Their Kyiv line includes a cotton polo and a chestnut-motif necklace — both wearable and well-considered.

→ Polo / Chestnut Necklace

O.Taje — Polo KYIV

A knitted polo in a loose-fit silhouette, made from viscose, polyester, and silk. The fabric features a chestnut leaf pattern — one of the main symbols of Kyiv. Clean, wearable, not trying too hard.

OLIZ — Silk Scarf "KYIV"

A natural silk scarf in two sizes — 65×65 cm and 100×100 cm — with an abstract print rooted in Kyiv's visual language. One of the more unexpected finds in this guide. Comes in gift packaging.
