Ukrainian fashion brands and designers bring victory closer: they create special collections and donate profits to the charities, transfer funds to the army and spread information among their followers. Many have remolded their production and not only started sewing uniforms, combat boots or plate carriers, but also begun weaving camouflage nets.
DDodo Socks created ‘To the Victory’ collection and has already raised more than a million hryvnias on pre-order. The brand sends profits from their offline sales to the Come Back Alive Foundation.
An aid pickup point that distributes tights and socks to the refugee children has been opened in Lviv. Also, Dodo Socks has ‘Suspended Socks’ service: you can pay for any item, leave it in the store and employees will make sure that it will reach those who need it the most.
CULTNAKED transferred 100,000 hryvnias to the Come Back Alive Foundation. The brand encourages their subscribers to donate to the army.
