Kurochka

Kurochka is a line of t-shirts and more with a hint of The Motherland. We're making hot (and often humorous!) designs based on Russian and Ukrainian folklore, fairy tales and culture. But we don't just want to dress the world in good-looking gear. We have a website, where you can find a lot of cool information about these countries: the traditions, the culture, the food, the drink!, the fairy tales, the quirks, the myths and the reality. How do you make borscht? Who is that old hag who lives in the cabin on chicken legs? How do I kill Koshchey Bessmertny? Kurochka was started by Mother-Daughter team, Ellen (mother, designer, cat-lover) and Yana (daughter, designer, food-lover). Ellen and Tanya (godmother, artist, master of inappropriate humor) create the art, while Yana's in charge of the internet and tracking down the latest cat videos. Ellen and Yana live in Brooklyn, while Tanya is stuck with slightly worse-weathered Cherkassy, Ukraine.
