Urban energy, girls, crafts and things with soul – this is how the latest photo shoot by Urchynn, a brand that consistently builds its own narrative of fashion created in the spirit of slow fashion, can be described in a nutshell. This time, the frames lead us on a journey through the old-school nooks and crannies of Warsaw’s Praga district and remind us that authenticity still matters.
A walk through Praga in frames – Namysłowska bazaar, Rusałka and Praga backyards
The session was created during a casual, spontaneous walk with photographer and stylist Elżbieta Szczepaniak and model Jagoda Porębska. The girls wandered through places that have been building the character of the district for years: the local “Namysłowska” bazaar, the iconic Rusałka bar, as well as courtyards between old blocks of flats and rows of garages.
It was these raw, everyday spaces that turned out to be the perfect backdrop for Urchynn’s bags – designs that combine the rawness of the material with a soft, girlish form.
Second-hand styling – lumpx, Vinted and old-school vibe
The atmosphere of the shoot is enhanced by styling with second-hand clothes: gems from second-hand shops, Vinted or local vintage boutiques. The natural nonchalance and aesthetics of the street-inspired looks match perfectly with the Urchynn handbags, a brand that has been committed to sustainable choices since the beginning.
Urchynn – a brand that creates its own fashion universe
Urchynn is an original, intimate brand of handbags designed and sewn by Martini Rokicinska. These are accessories created in the spirit of upcycling, from natural leather recovered from offcuts, production waste and vintage clothes. Nothing is wasted here – the materials live a second (and sometimes third) life, subscribing to the idea of circular economy.
The brand does not follow trends. She creates her own, building a story based on craftsmanship, authenticity and uniqueness. Each handbag is created in short series or as a single piece – from scratch, in a home workshop.
Statement bags that speak for themselves
Urchynn’s designs are inspired by what girls love most:
- butterflies in the Y2K aesthetic,
- sweet bows,
- patchwork combinations of textures and colours,
- nostalgic, vintage designs – croissants in roses, swans in stars or bags reminiscent of sunsets.
These are classic statement bags – accessories that can build an entire look and give it character. They are at once modern and full of retro flair, lightweight but crafted with artisanal precision.
Fashion that has a soul
Urchynn’s new shoot is not just a fashion show. It’s a story about how style can stem from place, memory, material and the hands that create it.
It’s a reminder that things with history have power – especially when they end up in the hands of a designer who can give them new life.
