Wax Flower Crowns

A Ukrainian floral headband, or vinok, is a traditional head decoration; the wax flower crowns with ribbons in this collection are entirely handmade and offered by DNK Natsii (ДНК Нації), a Ukrainian brand that designs and sews vyshyvankas in Ukraine.

For centuries the vinok completed the festive look of a Ukrainian woman. Every flower is shaped by hand in the wax modelling technique, with attention to the smallest detail. Ribbons in different colours give each crown its character, from restrained delicacy to a striking festive accent. It is a natural choice as a Ukrainian wedding headband and for celebrations with a vyshyvanka or traditional outfit.
