The Hustka has long been a core symbol of Ukrainian cultural heritage, inherited via the female line, carried throughout life as a talisman protecting the hair from the evil eye.

"I love everything about blazers; they make the essence of my wardrobe. This February, when I attended Milan Fashion Week, I thought about how to express my Ukrainian identity and draw attention to the war. Back then, I took a national flag in my hands and later imagined FOLK, a jacket with a headscarf." - Alina Frendiy, founder of Tote

The oversized single-breasted piece with sharp-notched lapels comes in black and ivory shades with an accent on shoulder lines and is perfect for any season.

Established in 2018, Tote is a Ukrainian ready-to-wear brand renowned for its minimalistic design specializing in blazers of various simplistic forms and cuts. The FOLK, however, is designed to become a statement piece with a soft touch of national symbolism.
