Moreover, Pure is representing curious emerging local designer brands, created and produced in Ukraine.

Laska (Caress) Charity Store is based on a simple and widespread in the developed world idea: some people gratuitously bring something that they don’t need any more while the others buy. The children clothes and the profit from the second-hand selling go for charity purposes and financing of social and urbanistic projects. The store sells a bunch of various creative things: clothes, shoes, bags, accessories, furniture, books, vinyls, old-fashioned cameras and eco-friendly hand-made rugs from recycled materials. The stores also host small cafes and laundries and offer presents-package service.
