Forbes highlighted Ukrainian Vintage Co as a standout in the art and creative sector, emphasizing our strong export performance and growing presence in international markets. Our work with collectors, galleries, and design lovers across North America, Europe, and Asia continues to demonstrate the global appeal of Ukrainian art and craftsmanship.

“We believe that transparency, structured operations, and a human-centered approach are the future of business. Being recognized by Forbes is a tremendous honor — and a sign that we are on the right path,” said the company’s founder, Andrii Zhyvodorov.


This recognition validates the effort our team has invested in curating and promoting authentic Ukrainian art and culture to the world. It’s also a testament to the power of independent business in Ukraine, even amid the challenges of recent years.

We remain committed to our mission: supporting local artists, preserving cultural heritage, and bringing beauty into people’s homes around the world.

Thank you for being part of our journey!

FAQs

What does “Sold – One-of-a-Kind Piece” mean?

It means the original painting has been sold and no reproductions are available. Each artwork is unique and only exists in a single copy.

What does “Author's Repetition Available” mean?

It means the original painting has been sold, but the artist can create a new original based on the same idea and composition.

An Author's Repetition is not a print or copy — it's a new, hand-painted artwork by the same artist, with minor differences that reflect the natural process of painting.
