You're reading: Five Ukrainian brands for dressing stylishly in winter

As winter returns to Kyiv, it’s time to dress up warm in heavy coats, sweaters, boots and hats – not usually the kind of clothes that inspire those who have a passion for fashion.

But in fact, fashion lovers can find plenty of trendy Ukrainian-made coats, warm vests, knitted accessorizes and fluffy sweatshirts on sale nowadays. The Kyiv Post picked out a few fashionable outfits produced by Ukrainian designers that will help people keep warm, and yet looking stylish, during the cold season.

Trempel

The Ukrainian brand Trempel (from the Ukrainian word for clotheshanger), offers a large variety of winter quilted vests and bright coats. Trempel was founded only a year ago, but already has a showroom in the city center near Palats Sportu metro station. Most of the brand’s coats are made from cashmere and wool, which make them ideal for frosty winter temperatures.

Prices for coats start from around Hr 3,000, with a quilted coat costing around Hr 3,800. Apart from their showroom at 15b Shota Rustaveli St., the brand also has a spot in the Ocean Plaza shopping mall near Lybidska metro station.
