The centerpiece of this buckle features a double-edged sword, a powerful symbol of courage, honor, and the enduring struggle for freedom. In 1932, this sword design was adopted as the official emblem of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), representing determination and the pursuit of an independent Ukrainian state.

Founded in 1929, the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) was a Ukrainian political movement dedicated to the restoration of a sovereign and united Ukraine during a period when Ukrainian lands were divided among neighboring states.

The sword came to symbolize the resolve to defend one’s homeland, while the organization’s well-known motto, “Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes!”, was later adopted by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) as a formal greeting. Today, the phrase remains a widely recognized expression of Ukrainian national pride, resilience, and remembrance.

Each buckle is individually cast in brass and carefully finished by hand through a multi-step process that includes patina treatment and polishing, giving every piece its own distinctive character and depth.

Crafted from genuine calf leather, the belt offers durability, comfort, and a refined look suitable for everyday wear or statement styling. The combination of premium leather and artisan metalwork creates an accessory that feels substantial, authentic, and uniquely Ukrainian.

Perfect as a meaningful gift, collector’s piece, or everyday accessory with character and heritage.
