“Summer Within Us”

Etnodim’s new collection

For us, summer serves as a metaphor for openness—a time to reconnect with ourselves and the world around us. Rooted in the collection is a sense of home that travels with you, and a quiet sensitivity to the rhythm of contemporary life.

Linen and cotton form the foundation of the pieces, painted in an organic palette of buttermilk, sky blue, olive, and hazy dove grey. The palette draws inspiration from the imagery of summer, reflecting open skies, flourishing blooms, warm breezes, and evenings settling into deep twilight. Cutwork serves as the collection’s leitmotif, appearing throughout in details meticulously handcrafted by our artisans across each individual piece.

The Lelitka sundress and top occupy a distinctive place within the collection. Both are designed with an open neckline, featuring silhouettes that rarely appear in Etnodim’s collections. They are complemented by tonal floral embroidery inspired by the ornamentation of traditional ritual cloths from the Kyiv region dating from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century.

This season also introduces the Leskit curtain, which serves as the centerpiece of the collection. It captures the fluid boundary between the indoor and outdoor worlds, representing privacy and openness, the cool sanctuary of home, and the warmth of the summer air. Finished with botanical motifs and elements of Richelieu cutwork, it unites clothing, space, and the atmosphere of home into a single story.

Contemporary silhouettes, comfortable tailoring, natural materials, and subtle references to Ukraine’s decorative heritage come together in Summer Within Us. Designed for different moments of summer life, whether in the city, on vacation, or beyond, the collection is grounded in the enduring values of comfort, thoughtful detail, and a lasting sense of home. The collection is now available on the Etnodim website and at the brand’s showrooms in Kyiv and Lviv.
