Etno-Halereya

Top choice in Lviv


If you are in the market for some traditional Ukrainian folk costume and have rather a large budget, this vintage emporium sells the real thing with exquisitely crafted vyshyvanky (embroidered tunics), ruchnyky (ornamental towels) and jewellery, all from the last century, going for thousands of hryvnya. There's also a small museum (admission 30uah) with more valuable pieces.
