In short
- Mother’s Day in Ukraine and the US falls on the second Sunday of May.
- Mums love care in the form of an object: soft, light, gentle on the skin.
- May is the season for light kid mohair & silk in pastel shades.
- Add a handwritten card; mums keep them for years.
Mum gave us warmth; the best thing we can do in return is wrap her in it.
