Every Ukrainian city has a story. This is Kherson's.

Everyone in Ukraine knows Kherson for its watermelons. It's not a cliché — it's a genuine point of pride. The region's warm climate and rich soil produce some of the best in the country, and the watermelon has become an unofficial emblem of the city, woven into its identity the way chestnuts belong to Kyiv. This design echoes the shape and colors of those famous watermelons — pink, green, and black. The city's name is hidden inside the pattern.

This isn't a folk embroidery reproduction. It's an original graphic interpretation, rooted in something specific to this place. The design is the same one used on the matching embroidered patch — same size, same embroidery technique, roughly a 4×4 inch piece of real threadwork on the chest. Not a print, not a graphic. Embroidery.
