OUR STORY

Our Beginning

It all started in early 2018 in Kyiv, Ukraine. Our founder, Dmytro, came up with the idea when his wife, who worked in the salon business, needed face masks for working with dyes. Medical masks weren’t suitable, and construction masks were out of the question. After sewing many samples, they finally created a mask with carbon filters. At that time, there was nothing like it on the market – the masks were stylish, comfortable, and customizable with logos, making them both functional and fashionable.

This is where it all began – the room where we started creating our first pieces. 2018 Kyiv, Ukraine

In those early days, we didn’t have our own workshop. The masks were made by home-based seamstresses, and we sold them through Instagram. Dmytro managed everything – marketing, sales, custom logo applications, and shipping. Carbon filters and plastic components were sourced from China, and slowly but surely, the business grew.

The Turning Point: The Pandemic

In March 2020, as COVID-19 swept across the world, it reached Ukraine. On the morning the pandemic was officially declared, our website crashed under the weight of orders. Every hour, we received 30 to 40 orders for masks because they had become nearly impossible to find in the country.

Our masks stood out due to their high level of protection, but the surge in demand forced us to quickly hire more seamstresses to meet production needs. This was the turning point for our business, leading us toward the production of high-quality uniforms for service industry professionals.

Between 2020 and 2022, we expanded our product line to include aprons for waitstaff, beauty salon uniforms, hairdressing capes, and much more. Our team grew to 8 members, including seamstresses, a pattern maker, a hardware installation specialist, a sales department, and a shipping department – all while Dmytro continued to manage marketing.

Facing New Challenges

In early 2022, war came to our country, bringing immense hardship to everyone. We had to pause operations and leave the city as missile strikes became a daily threat. Our team scattered, and our workshop stood empty. We didn’t know when, or if, we would return to our homes or our work.

A New Beginning

Two months later, in April 2022, we started again from scratch. Dmytro rented a small space, transported equipment from the previous workshop, and began gathering the team members who had stayed in Kyiv and were willing to work. Initially, the team consisted of just two seamstresses, with Dmytro handling hardware installation, logo application, sales, and shipping.

Within six months, the team grew to nine members, and we moved into a new facility. Today, we operate from a 250-square-meter workshop, where 25 talented individuals, both on-site and remote, work to fulfill your orders.

As we’ve grown, we’ve remained committed to quality and customer care – values that have made us market leaders in our country.
