About
Ruslan Baginskiy, designer and founder of his eponymous brand, has revolutionized headwear since 2015 by merging
traditional craftsmanship with contemporary, multidisciplinary design. Each collection draws inspiration from art, photography,
folklore, and Ukraine's vibrant heritage, encompassing styles from straw fedoras to leather cowboy hats and the brand’s signature
Baker Boy cap. The brand has gained international recognition, worn by celebrities such as Madonna, Beyoncé, Gigi and Bella Hadid.
Proudly labeled "Made in Ukraine," every RB piece reflects a commitment to local craftsmanship and cultural authenticity.
Reinventing Hats

Second Nature
A series of hand-dyed Baseball caps, each featuring its own fruit sticker. Each cap in muted hues embodies the feel of a well-loved, sun-faded favorite. ‘Fruit stickers always tell a story of where and how the fruit was grown.
With this drop I thought they’d be a fun way to tell you that RB hats come from Ukraine, where they are crafted
locally with love and by hand at our own production’ Ruslan Baginskiy.
Ruslan Baginskiy Jewellery: SKARBY/TREASURES
Handcrafted of beaded glass and metal, RB presents a series of earrings, pendants and necklaces.
“The idea was to construct a sort of treasure chest. In objects we often collect our memories; a stone brought from a walk on the beach, a flower dried in a book.
Our memories may fade but these objects carry on lived emotions. I’m fascinated by that process, by the question of how and why
something becomes precious to us” Ruslan Baginskiy.
The Hat Box
One straw boater hat. 10 specially developed embellishments. Endless options to express yourself in endless combinations.
“TSVIT” Haute Couture Collection
An experience of restoring forgotten craft techniques that were considered archaisms, and their reintroduction into today. Each piece – a tribute to Ukrainian culture: from the 19th-century-inspired straw mask to Scythian-inspired gold-tone jewelry.
Artisanal Journey
The curated space 'Artisanal Journey' by Ruslan Baginskiy aims to reveal a harmonious interplay between tradition and modernity. Here, the boundaries of fashion extend beyond conventional materials, embracing the unexpected.
This is a space for exploring craftsmanship in new forms and formats, where the sculptural approach to creating
headwear is presented in new interpretations.
