Description

Designed with four Ukrainian women serving on the front line. Each chose a symbol from her own story: a wolf, a grapevine, an FPV controller, a phoenix, and all four are stitched into this shirt.

The Vyshyvanka (Вишиванка) is a traditional Ukrainian embroidered shirt with a history spanning centuries. Each pattern carries meaning rooted in Ukrainian culture and identity. This version is made from breathable linen with Saint Javelin's signature embroidery — traditional in form, unmistakably ours in detail.

This vyshyvanka runs large. For a traditional fit, order your usual size. For a more tailored look, size down. We recommend checking the measurements below before ordering.

Our vyshyvanka carries the symbols of our original embroidery - and four new ones, each chosen by a Ukrainian woman serving today. Their stories are stitched into the shirt.

The Symbols

Four symbols, chosen by the women who wear them

For generations, Ukrainian embroidery has carried the stories of the people who wore it. Alongside the symbols from our original embroidery, we introduced four new ones — each chosen by a Ukrainian woman whose life, service, and story became part of this design.

01

The Wolf

Chosen by Alina, commander of the Ulf Medical Service

@alishamisha

The wolf is strength, courage, and the spirit of the pack. She founded Ulf in 2017 after joining Dmytro “Da Vinci” Kotsiubailo’s volunteer unit — “Ulf” is the Old Norse word for wolf, and it became more than a name. It became a reminder that no one fights alone.

The Grapevine

Chosen by Dariia, commander of the first all-women strike drone crew in Ukraine’s National Guard

@vuvergo

A tribute to her native Kherson region, and one of the traditional motifs already found in Ukrainian embroidery. It is a symbol of home — a reminder that home is something worth carrying with you, and worth fighting for.

Ada, FPV drone operator
The FPV controller she chose, cross-stitched on the sleeve of the vyshyvanka

03

The FPV Controller

Chosen by Ada, FPV drone operator

@ada.saksman

War has changed. For Ada, the controller represents responsibility as much as technology — the tool through which decisions are made, decisions that can save lives, protect others, and shape the battlefield.

Maryna, electronic warfare operator, at a field position
The phoenix she chose, cross-stitched on the sleeve of the vyshyvanka

04

The Phoenix

Chosen by Maryna, electronic warfare operator

@pleshcheieva.m

The phoenix is the symbol of the rehabilitation centre she created for active-duty service members and veterans. It represents healing after destruction, rebuilding after loss, and the strength to begin again. Some battles are fought on the battlefield. Others begin once the soldiers come home.

Four symbols. One shirt.

Cut, sewn and embroidered in Ukraine
