Dear customers!!!

The Borschiv national embroidery has deep roots and continues to remain relevant through the ages!
The uniqueness of the borscht embroidery, which has existed for more than five centuries, lies in the black color of the embroidery, which was not chosen by chance. The emergence of this technique is associated with tragic events that once happened in this region. According to legend, in the 15th–18th centuries, Turks and Tatars regularly attacked the Borshchyv region, bringing death with them. During one of the raids, all the men in several villages of the Borshchyv district were killed. Women and girls, mourning their losses, have taken a pledge to wear embroidered mourning dresses at weddings and holidays for several generations. The same women who embroidered such shirts in the 20s and 30s of the last century became the last generation to keep this promise.
After that, women began to use colored threads instead of black wool to embroider shirts.
There are also interesting legends associated with borscht embroidery, including stories about how a terrible disease once reigned in these parts, from which only women suffered. To protect themselves from the disease, they heavily embroidered their shirts with black thread, believing that it could cheat death.
Ancient borscht embroidery is highly valued both in Ukraine and abroad. This is certain, because each of them is unique: there are practically no two shirts that are exactly the same.

Our dear customers. "Gallery of Needlework" continues to work for you, but there have been some forced, temporary changes in our work. You should know about it.

During the war, our production reduced its capacity. Unfortunately, we cannot produce some of the products offered on the website or Instagram page yet.

After all, many of our craftsmen temporarily went abroad due to the war in Ukraine. In addition, we encountered a problem during the procurement of materials. There are not many types of fabrics and threads on sale, and the color range of these products is limited.

Due to these circumstances, we ask you to discuss this with us before ordering products on the website or expecting that the delivery time will be short, to make sure that the order will be fulfilled and on time.

Currently, we can offer customers what is already in stock. Also, customers can discuss with us the possibility of manufacturing a certain product by calling us or in private messages.

Thank you for staying with us in the difficult time of the war and we hope for your understanding. We believe in the quick victory of Ukraine and that soon the "Gallery of Embroidery" will be fully operational again. Let's survive difficult times together!
