About Us

We’re Karina and Volodymyr, a couple of Ukrainians who moved to the UK in 2022. Surrounded by mass-produced homeware, we found ourselves missing the soulful, handcrafted pieces that filled homes back in Ukraine - objects made with heart, history, and meaning.
That longing inspired UAthentic: a platform for handmade Ukrainian pottery and homeware, created by independent artists who pour their time, talent, and resilience into every piece. Each item tells a story of craft, culture, and courage shaped in workshops across Ukraine, often under extraordinary circumstances.
Our mission is simple: support small artists! We’re giving Ukrainian makers a stage and design lovers in the UK a chance to fill their homes with authenticity, beauty, and purpose. From hand-thrown mugs and elegant candle holders to meaningful décor pieces, every object you find at UAthentic celebrates both craftsmanship and connection.
