World Ukrainian Handkerchief Day

What day is it?

December 7 is celebrated World Ukrainian Handkerchief Day. It has long been considered a talisman and a symbol of patriotism, freedom and love. Therefore, the activists who introduced the holiday set themselves the goal of reviving national traditions and conveying historical facts about this item of clothing.

The first scarves that Ukrainian women began to wear were pure white. But the color drawings came to us from Turkey. Now some brands are bringing back the fashion for handkerchiefs and including them in their collections.

Despite the “youth”, the holiday already has its own traditions. On this day, master classes and competitions on the ability to tie a handkerchief are held. After all, only in Ukraine there are several dozen tying techniques.


A flash mob is also gaining momentum “Take a photo with a handkerchief”. The girls post their photos and videos on social networks, where they teach others the art of transforming this seemingly insignificant, at first glance, element of the wardrobe into an exquisite decoration.
