Khokhloma Rooster – Harmony in Folk Bloom

This T-shirt features an artistic homage to the centuries-old Russian decorative style known as Khokhloma (Хохлома), a folk painting technique originating in the Volga region around the 17th century. Characterized by rich hues of red, gold, green, and black, Khokhloma art was traditionally painted on wooden tableware and furniture. Over time, it evolved into a powerful visual identity representing Russia’s handcrafted folk legacy.

At the heart of this design is the rooster, or petukh (петух), a recurring motif in Slavic folklore. In many Eastern European cultures, the rooster symbolizes sunrise, protection, and prosperity, often believed to ward off evil spirits with its morning crow. Surrounded by blooming floral motifs and symmetrical leafy vines, this stylized depiction captures the life-affirming energy of rural life, seasonal cycles, and spiritual renewal.

The inspiration for adapting this pattern into wearable art stems from our mission to transform global cultural icons into expressive fashion. This design doesn’t just decorate your shirt—it carries the weight of tradition, celebrating artistic resilience and the stories passed down through brushstrokes and folklore.

Rendered in bold, flat colors with ornate curves, this piece mirrors the precision and vibrancy of original Khokhloma artisanship, now reimagined as a cultural canvas you can wear.
