Silk Gallery: How the Ukrainian Scarf is Becoming a New Collectible

Today, the boundary between a wardrobe and a home gallery is finally fading. The popular French tradition of framing silk scarves is becoming a steady trend in Ukraine as well. For the KHUSTYNA brand, this step was a logical development of their concept: from the very beginning, the accessory was positioned not just as an element of a look, but as a work of art created by prominent artists.


The intellectual choice in favor of a silk panel instead of traditional painting is dictated primarily by the names of the artists behind each print. Every collection of the brand is a collaboration with the leaders of Ukraine’s modern cultural code: Hanna Kryvolap, Artur Soletskyi, Olha Piliuhina, and MAKHNO Studio.

This approach allows the owner not only to decorate a home but to curate their own art collection illustrating different directions of Ukrainian art. Importantly, these canvases were created in recent years: they embody a dramatic period of the formation and flowering of our culture. In times of war, art has become stronger and has gained special demand in society, so over the years, each such scarf will only increase in value, telling the story of our resilience.

A special place in the interior context is held by the limited series Instinct, created together with the artist Artur Soletskyi (whose works grace the collection of Hollywood actress Sharon Stone).

It is a very personal, almost intimate story about "adult" love. Silk canvases with titles like "Fragility in Your Hands" or "Body Balance" sound like poetic formulas. Their sensual visuality — abstract silhouettes and refined lines — perfectly suits a bedroom or relaxation area, creating an atmosphere of silence and unconditional trust.

"True luxury does not demonstrate itself loudly. It is felt in the details, in intimacy, and in the ability to see beauty in every breath of the fabric. A silk scarf is something more than an accessory or decor. It reacts to the movement and mood of the home, coexists with its owners, adding life to the house," says Maksym Turava, owner and CEO of KHUSTYNA.


Each scarf is a unique artistic work with hand-rolled edges. It is an opportunity to form your own collection in a modern, unconventional format, where art becomes part of your daily space.
