POLONETS at the Amazing Thailand Global Thai Silk Exhibition

The POLONETS brand represents Ukraine at the international exhibition Amazing Thailand Global Thai Silk Exhibition in Bangkok, where designers from over 100 countries present original creations that express the cultural identities of their nations through the art of Thai silk.

Ukraine is represented by designer Oksana Polonets with her original creation, SPADOK (HERITAGE) — a contemporary interpretation of Ukrainian cultural traditions, in which every detail carries its own meaning.

At the heart of the composition is the Tree of the Family Line, a traditional Ukrainian symbol of life, continuity, and the unbreakable bond between generations. Its roots reach deep into the past, while its branches stretch toward the light — through trials and hardships, toward hope and the future. It embodies a strength preserved in the memory of generations and carried forward within each of us.

The natural textures of linen, hemp, and silk intertwine with the delicate openwork of traditional Ukrainian embroidery known as merezhka. The natural beauty of the materials, the finesse of the designer’s craftsmanship, and the expressive character of Ukrainian ornamentation come together in a harmonious creation where tradition does not remain in the past but continues to live through contemporary design.

The look combines handcrafted Thai silk with natural fabrics produced in Lutsk, Ukraine. Materials of different origins unite in a single original creation, opening up new ways to explore cultural heritage, craftsmanship, and shared human values.

POLONETS is deeply honoured to represent Ukraine on the international stage and introduce Ukrainian culture to the world through the language of contemporary design.

SPADOK — HERITAGE is more than a look. It is a memory that lives on through materials, traditions, and symbols. It is the roots that anchor us and the light toward which we journey.
