This hoodie, adorned with a stylized sheaf of wheat, celebrates the enduring tradition of the Ukrainian didukh. It's a tribute to heritage, resilience, and the profound connection between Ukrainians and their land.
The didukh, meaning "grandfather spirit," is a handcrafted wheat sheaf. Traditionally brought into homes during the Christmas season, it represents the enduring spirit of ancestors and a deep love for the land, symbolizing the continuity of generations and the strength of the Ukrainian people.
Albina Kolesnichenko reimagines the didukh in a striking, contemporary form. The symbolic wheat sheaf takes center stage, flanked by soaring doves and delicate blossoms.
