The Tree of Life Baby Bodysuit

The design on the baby bodysuit was created as part of a collaboration with Kyiv-based illustrator myfabstory. This illustration, named “The Tree of Life,” is the third piece in the Old Patterns, New Stories collection, inspired by traditional Ukrainian embroidery. The Tree of Life looks forward into Kyiv’s future. The Tree of Life is one of the oldest motifs in Ukrainian culture, a symbol that Ukrainians have worn for thousands of years. The artist Kateryna Stepanishcheva, who works under the name myfabstory, drew on Kyiv’s traditional embroidery motifs to create the design, featuring flowers and stars that represent opportunity and growth. To highlight the meaning of this illustration, we are introducing something new to our shop: a baby bodysuit — the perfect match for a symbol of life and the future.
