What the designer says:
“My Sleeping Gypsy Merezhivo Long Blouse in Pale Blue features a voluminous, airy silhouette with gathered sleeves richly adorned in floral embroidery and hand-cut Richelieu, evoking a romantic summer narrative. The traditional “Zbiranka” technique defines the breast line, while the cuffs and neckline are hand-embellished with 24-carat gold and silver-plated beads, accented by contrasting stitches. Expertly crafted over two days in our Kyiv atelier by five artisans, each blouse is a singular expression of artistry, where every motif tells its own story through masterful handwork. The look is finished with 24-carat gilded beads hand-applied to the collar and sleeves. Handcrafted by artisans in Kyiv, Ukraine: a process that takes 10-15 hours to complete by five artisans.”
Vishyvanka is a traditional embroidered shirt or blouse from Ukraine, and it is one of the country’s most important cultural symbols. It is usually decorated with intricate embroidery patterns on the sleeves, chest, and collar.
The word comes from the Ukrainian verb meaning “to embroider.”
