Cotton Canvas Tote Bag – Rooted in Strength

Description

“Rooted in Strength” — National Symbol of Ukraine, painting by Yana Vlasenko-Benatska

This bold design centers the Ukrainian trident (Tryzub) — a timeless symbol of freedom and identity — wrapped in flowing oak leaves and grounded by three glowing chestnuts. The deep black background makes the gold shine brighter, while the organic forms around it remind us that true strength grows from deep roots.

The chestnuts here are more than just a decorative detail — they’re a tribute to Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, often called the City of Chestnut Trees. Together with the oak leaves — ancient symbols of endurance, courage, and national pride — this piece carries the spirit of resilience and heritage.

Inspired by Samchykivka, a Ukrainian folk art style known for its symbolic color, symmetry, and protection, the work blends tradition and power into a modern emblem of hope.

Created by Yana Vlasenko-Benatska, a Ukrainian artist who gives classic motifs fresh meaning, Rooted in Strength is a heartfelt visual anthem — proud, grounded, and unbreakably Ukrainian.

This 100% cotton bag comes in one size – 15″ x 16″– perfect for everyday wear. While the canvas material will show off your designs in great colors, it’s durable and will last for years.
