Hi, I'm Alex!
I'm the founder of the Pikore brand from Ukraine, which now has over 25,000 customers in 50 countries.
This is now.
But since childhood, I have loved watching my family: my father laying out tools and repairing a kitchen faucet or an old car, my grandfather giving new life to old shoes in a small workshop in one of Kharkiv's districts [the smell of leather has remained a reminder of childhood for a long time]. I remember very well how my mother and grandmother always wanted to have something original and authentic, so they often altered old clothes and created incredible dresses.
My family valued handmade and authenticity, treated everything with care and knew how to create comfort for themselves and others.
Our story
At the age of 14, I noticed that my father's tools were constantly getting lost somewhere or lying in different places in the apartment. That was the moment when I first thought I knew what gift to give him for his birthday. Then I found some old pieces of leather, rummaged through my mother's sewing supplies and tried to sew a tool box (I called it a case back then). It turned out as well as a 14-year-old boy could, who had never held sewing tools in his hands and didn't know how to work with leather, but wanted to do something nice for his father and also become part of the family tradition of making unique things with his hands.
Pikore continues to delight customers worldwide, operating in Ukraine and adapting to challenging times for the country.
I set aside the idea of sewing for a long time, but the thought of continuing the family tradition and the desire to create truly unique items never left me. During this time, I learned to work with leather and realized how delicate a material it is. I also noticed that our daily lives lack beautiful and convenient items.
In 2018, the story of the Pikore brand officially began. We realized that we could help beautify and organize items that matter to different people. For kitchen enthusiasts, we offer knife rolls; for travel lovers, we provide organizers for belongings; we create custom laptop sleeves, Bible covers, stylish men's bags, tennis ball holders, and more. All of these are made from eco-friendly materials and handcrafted. Every day in the workshop, I smell high-quality leather and am reminded of my grandfather's shoe workshop.
