Myroslava KVASNYTSYA - the director of the social studio "Butterfly" told about how to create something unique, how to bring your creativity to life and how to help people at the same time.

The mission of the atelier is to overcome the stereotypes that women in difficult circumstances are incapable of realising themselves in new directions. The directors of the atelier are convinced that a harmonious team is the key to any business, so they attract artisans who share the same goals and dreams of success.

"The studio employs women who have been victims of domestic violence but have decided to break the cycle, socialise and become economically independent. "Butterfly is a whole community where people not only earn money, but also find their place of strength and resistance, learn new things and develop in areas that interest them. Our studio is called Butterfly for a reason, because we give wings to women who need them," Mrs Miroslava emphasises.

The main highlight of the atelier is the tailoring of classic white shirts in various styles and ethnic clothing, very stylish and modern, adapted to the latest fashion trends. Another interesting product is handkerchiefs with pictures drawn by women during art therapy.
