Steel dog tag-embroidered | RBTNK Limited
The second collection drop of RBTNK, dedicated to the World Embroidery Day.
Limited dog tags-embroidery inspired by three unique ornaments from three ethnographic regions of Ukraine with engraved symbols that Ukrainians have worn for generations close to their hearts. Each – only 10 pieces.
SLOBOZHANSHCHYNA
The Dog tag "Slobozhanshchyna" is inspired by the ornament from a women's shirt from the village of Makaryv Yar in the Luhansk region at the beginning of the 20th century.
Common motifs included plant elements — branches, flowers, a stylized "tree of life," symbolizing the continuity of the lineage; geometric elements such as diamonds, triangles, and crosses, including the swastika and "rakes."
POLISSYA
The Dog tag "Polissya" is inspired by the ornament from a men's shirt from the village of Hlynne in the Rivne region at the end of the 19th century.
Characteristic ornaments with rhythmic repetition of individual or interwoven diamonds, octagonal stars, and broken lines, crosses that were symbols of the sun, sky, and the four cardinal directions.
NADDNIPRYANSHCHYNA
The Dog tag "Naddnipryanshchyna" is inspired by the ornament from a women's shirt from the village of Hoholeve in the Poltava region at the beginning of the 20th century.
A characteristic composition of plant or geometric ornament with motifs of flowers, bunches of grapes, and twigs with berries, often featuring vertical rows of "broken trees" or a grid of diamonds and cross motifs on the sleeves, symbolizing fertility, family roots, and embodying protection.
