All style-savvy men can now cancel their shopping tours to Milan, because elite bespoke men’s wear is available in Kyiv too. At least three local designers offer quality custom-made men suits.

Six years ago Kateryna Vozianova started a men’s wear atelier Indposhiv (Custom Tailoring), focusing on high-quality bespoke suits.

Indposhiv charges Hr 18,000 and more for a custom-made, hand-tailored suit. Production takes up to six weeks. The quality meets the standards of Savile Row Bespoke Association, according to Vozianova.

Indposhiv has an office in London, but the London orders go to tailors in Kyiv. The atelier charges its London customers 1,600 – 1,700 British pounds for a suit, and production takes up to three months.

Still, the price makes Indposhiv competitive in London. Vozianova is happy that half of her clients are British. “Foreigners appreciate our price and quality,” she explains.

The last year has brought Indposhiv new Ukrainian clientele, including newly-appointed government officials in need of formal wear.

Designer Anna Bublik makes both women and men’s clothes to order. The price of a suit varies between $1,200 and $4,000, depending on the fabric and the time of production. In case of urgency, Bublik’s tailors can make a suit in just five days, but it will bring the price up.

Bublik atelier has some 20 regular expat clients. She speaks fluent English.

“Our clients always come back,” says Bublik. “They appreciate the quality of tailoring that makes our suits fit perfectly.”

Olena Golets atelier

Olena Golets, like her competitors Indposhiv and Bublik, uses only foreign-made fabrics for her custom-made suits. Golets prefers fabrics by Italian producers Loro Piana or Guabello.

She charges $1,000–1,800 for a suit.

Events host Yuriy Krasiuk, known under name MC Yuras, was impressed by the suit that he tried on at Golets stand on Ukrainian Fashion Week on March 18.

“The fabric is gentle, light and well-manufactured. Definitely, I will buy the suit,” he said.

The price tag didn’t scare him off. The clientele of Golets, as well as those of Indposhiv and Bublik, didn’t seem to be affected by the recession and place as many orders as usual. Many of them are from politics.

“Every fifth Ukrainian politician is our client,” Golets claims.
