NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER <3
Hello, my name is Lyubov, I was born in the vibrant capital of Ukraine - Kyiv. Allow me to share the story of RDNY with you.
RDNY STREETWEAR [ridniy], emerged from a profound desire to make a difference. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to donate 5% of our profits from each collection to the Ukrainian army, dedicated doctors, or anyone in need.
THE ORIGIN OF RDNY:
When the invasion began, I found myself far from home, unable to return for six long months. During this time, I was engulfed by a whirlwind of emotions: fear for my family trying to evacuate, a deep yearning for my homeland, a surge of patriotism, and an overwhelming urge to help.
As an artist, I sought solace in painting, which became my refuge. I instinctively began doodling the beloved places of my home city, Kyiv. These sketches brought me comfort, and I imagined they might resonate with other Ukrainians too.
Amidst these creations, a funny thought crossed my mind: "Would a true patriot dare to tattoo the essence of their city on their arms?" This playful idea sparked the birth of our first RDNY STREETWEAR hoodie.
I aim to expand the RDNY brand to other Ukrainian cities, and eventually have worldwide reach. For now we have created the most iconic streetwear pieces - the hoodie and oversized t-shirt, but a lot more fun stuff is coming soon, so stay tuned.
Thank you for your support!
