First Steps in Vyshyvanka

Ukrainian Canadians are well known for their cultural, spiritual and social unity. They are defenders of Ukrainian culture and traditions. To distinguish one nation from another, you need to remember about your origin, know your traditions and wear Vyshyvanka.

Meest Corporation is helping every Ukrainian born in Canada, to have Ukrainian spirit and present them Vyshyvanka. Meest is convinced that from the first steps of a child's life, Ukrainian Canadians should continue to honor their values and traditions.

The first steps of Ukrainian children are not easy, as well as the first achievements. That’s why it’s important that babies feel the protection, support, and love of their parents. Children should know their history, their national clothing - Vyshyvanka. When parents dress their children in Vyshyvanka, they pass their faith for the unique future of their children. Vyshyvanka is a children’s defender.
