My Sleeping Gypsy, encapsulates Ukrainian traditions and heritage, blending these with contemporary practices. Each design can be referred to as a canvas in which both traditional and contemporary artists work together to form a unique vision.
The designs are timeless. Inspired by mythical tales, such as the Vyshyvanka’s dress, in which dresses were passed from mother to daughter with the intention of bringing good luck. The embellishments found on some of the designs also symbolise the protection of the soul and the tree of life or femininity.
My Sleeping Gypsy is made for those with a rebellious spirit of the 70’s and a love for modern bohemian fashion. The garments are cut in such a way which allows each individual to embrace all their beautiful imperfections, and with this enter a journey of self-love.
Sustainability, biodiversity, and animal welfare are at the heart of this brand. All materials are animal-free materials and are sourced locally, which also helps support small craft communities. Each piece is consciously created, in order to generate a piece of clothing that not only is comfortable but also gentle on the skin. With each piece being custom made, thousands of meters of embroidery have been used and numerous weeks of labour have been endured.
Linens are the top choice for this brand. Choosing quality and durability over quantity. Linens are also water-efficient in production and natural, which as a result makes the garments breathable for your skin.
The garments are a reminder to help you change for the better and make mindful choices. Will you be taking the path to self-improvement with us and My Sleeping Gypsy?
