We at PENKO know what it means to be part of a revolution. As a damn fatale Ukrainian clothing brand, we see how Ukrainian fashion is going through a real transformation. Today, Ukrainian microbrands are writing their own rules.

It’s not just clothing — it’s a statement, a cultural code of a new generation that refuses to follow someone else’s standards.

Why Microbrands Are Changing the Game

Microbrands have become the main force behind today’s Ukrainian fashion. Unlike big fashion corporations, we create personal stories — not mass products.
Ukrainian style now blends tradition with innovation, comfort with elegance. Our designers build their own trends, always rooted in something real.

The Power of Local

Ukrainian microbrands are reshaping the system thanks to something unique. The authenticity of each brand — including PENKO — comes straight from the founder’s story.

Smaller batches let us focus on details. And direct contact with our customers creates a bond that big brands simply can’t replicate.

Trends for 2025

Modern Ukrainian fashion is growing in a few key directions. Minimalism with edge is becoming our thing — clean lines with bold accents.

Mindful consumption is replacing the chase for quantity. Local identity shines through in modern interpretations of Ukrainian heritage.

Investing in the Future

When you choose Ukrainian brands, you’re investing in the future of local fashion. Every purchase is a vote for bold ideas and honest creativity.
Microbrands design for people who aren’t afraid to be iconic. Ukrainian fashion isn’t following trends anymore — it’s leading them.

We at PENKO are proud to be part of this new wave. Together we’re building a culture where every woman can be iconic, authentic, and absolutely fearless.

Because you iconic, girl. Because you can always do it for the plot.
