Hello! My name is Olena, and I’m Ukrainian. After moving to the UK in March 2022, I embarked on a journey to set up my online footwear store, which took about 9 months to bring to life.
Welcome to our website showcasing an exquisite collection of unique and unconventional women's shoes, handmade in Ukraine.
Our brand, Be Bright Be Brave, is synonymous with individual choice and distinctive designs that stand out from the crowd. Handcrafted with precision and care, each pair of boutique style shoes is a testament to our commitment to quality and originality.
Discover our limited collection of artisanal trainers, boots, clogs, sandals, heels, mules, ballet flats, Mary Jane styles and more. Unlike mass-produced footwear, our limited edition products are meticulously crafted to offer unparalleled comfort and style.
Originating from Ukraine, our journey began amidst the turmoil of economic fluctuations and geopolitical challenges. Inspired by the resilience of our homeland, we embarked on a mission to introduce female consumers in the UK to the exceptional craftsmanship of Ukrainian artisans.
At Be Bright Be Brave, we not only aim to delight customers with our unique designer creations but also to contribute to the growth of our economy and community. By supporting local talent and production, Hameleon - our official partner, we foster employment opportunities and sustain traditional craftsmanship.
As part of our commitment to social responsibility, we pledge to donate 25% of our net profit (but not less than 1% of our net revenue) to Okhmatdyt, the premier children's hospital in Kyiv. Despite the logistical hurdles of importing goods, we have launched our business, selling online in UK. Thanks to the unwavering resolve of our suppliers and partners Hameleon in Kyiv.
Explore our website to learn more about our handmade manufacturing process and the stories behind each exclusive model of shoes, proudly named after Ukrainian women. We invite you to join us on this journey of empowerment and self-expression.
Be Bright, Be Brave - support Ukraine!
Warm regards, Olena
