Borshch is a staple of Ukrainian cuisine, and has been for at least 1,200 years. In 2019, the official Twitter account for Russia’s Foreign Affairs Ministry tried to claim the beetroot stew as their own.
In response, Ukrainian chef, restaurateur, cookbook author, and social activist Yevgen Klopotenko set out to document the importance of borshch across Ukrainian culture for the next year and a half, and ultimately, borshch being named by UNESCO as part of Ukraine’s Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding in July 2022.
This tote bag features an illustration by Ukrainian artist Albina Kolesnichenko highlighting some of the ingredients of borshch: beetroot, potato, carrot, tomato, and garlic.

Thank you for my lovely and practical bag. I am very happy for it and with you all the best in the future.
I love my Bosch bag. I will use it for the first time tomorrow with some paperwork inside. I bought a second one for a friend and look forward to giving it to her. What a surprise to have a pocket inside for small items. Thanks a bunch for this lovely, roomy bag.
Very good quality, colors of printing is very good!
