THE LACE collection: dedicated to the history of flax weaving in Kievan Rus

The new collection THE LACE: a fabric filled with meanings and strong energy, linen, which has been used in Kievan Rus for Slavic clothing since the 9th century. It was used to make everyday lightweight clothing, linen was used to cover brides and grooms, newborns were wrapped in linen cloth, and linen bandages were used to dress the wounds of soldiers for a speedy recovery. Ancient chronicles tell us about flax, and it is known that Grand Duke Yaroslav even included a special clause in his church charter about punishment for theft of flax and linen clothing. Our history and identity, our genetic code are inextricably linked to this material, which has passed through the ages and still looks relevant and fashionable today.

For the Kyiv-based brand THE LACE, which even has the philosophy of weaving and weaving in its name, originality and timeless beauty are of great importance. The new linen collection adapts to the needs of women to remain relevant and sensual in a world that is constantly changing, just like herself. The intertwining of ancient Scandinavian, Byzantine and Slavic traditions is reflected in the colors, silhouettes and cut elements: decorative ribbons, caftans with a smell, loose shirts and dresses.

In Kievan Rus, folk belief said that linen clothes helped to restore strength, and a light shirt worn before an important event served as a talisman. Linen is perhaps the most powerful material among materials, giving you peace of mind and a sense of concentration. Psychologists say that the tactile qualities of linen fibers protect us from depression. But flax is relevant right now, in times of constant stress.

The Lace

Flax is fragility, night is fearlessness and resistance, sand is time that flows, but we do not stand still. We are moving forward with faith, towards the light, and preserving our values.
