Ulana Handmade Bags (Uliana Sakhno)

About the business

Ulana Handmade Bags is the handmade-bag project of Uliana Sakhno, who signs her name Ульяна Сахно.

She took a stall at UAFest, the Ukrainian festival in Lanark County, Ontario, in 2024, and the festival lists her among its vendors for that year.

She did more that day than sell from a table. UAFest's own record of the 2024 festival credits her with coordinating the bazaar, the market of Ukrainian makers, and with making a two-metre motanka doll for the festival. The motanka is a traditional Ukrainian doll; UAFest still teaches motanka doll-making in its hands-on craft workshops.

Beyond that, very little about the workshop is public. She keeps one Facebook page, under her own name, and that page is the only contact UAFest lists for her. There is no shop website, no catalogue and no price list that we were able to find.

So the practical answer for anyone who wants one of her bags is to write to her. What she is making now, what she has ready and what it costs are hers to say, and this page does not guess at any of it.

UAFest publishes this profile as a record of a maker who was part of the festival, and will fill it out with photographs of the bags, the range and where to find her as soon as she sends the material.
