The family business of two Olenas
It all started with a small store.
The Sonechko store opened in 2005 in Vidradnyi, Kyiv. It was founded by our mother, Olena. Later a second Olena — her daughter — joined the business. Step by step an ordinary children’s store became a true family project.
It started as a small children’s goods store. Over time, school uniforms, shoes and toys were joined by carnival costumes, festive dresses, accessories and outfit rental for children’s celebrations.
Today SONECHKO is the family business of two Olenas — mother and daughter. We have worked side by side for many years, growing what once began as a small neighbourhood store.
More than one generation of children has grown up in that time. Sometimes grandmothers visit us — women who once bought clothes here for their children and now choose costumes and dresses for their grandchildren.
Stories like these remind us that we work with more than products. We work with childhood memories.

Part of the neighbourhood’s life
We are known beyond our customers.
Over twenty years the store has become part of our neighbourhood’s life.
We remember the days of paper ads on building doors, flyers by the metro and the first costumes we sewed ourselves. We remember the first graduations, the first school plays and our first little customers.
Many people know us personally today. Walking around Vidradnyi we often meet familiar faces and hear:
"We once rented a kindergarten costume from you."
Words like these mean more to us than any advertising.
More than a clothing shelf
From a store to the runway.
Over the years SONECHKO has become more than a store and rental — it is a creative space.
We create our own looks, take part in children’s fashion shows, work with craft artisans and constantly look for new ideas for children’s celebrations.
Charity and social projects hold a special place in our story. One of the warmest was a fashion show featuring children with special needs, where we designed the looks.
For us it was more than a fashion show. It was another proof that a beautiful dress or costume can give a child confidence, joy and unforgettable emotions.
Twenty years together
Looks and life of the store.
We kept working
Together with the country — through everything.
Together with the country we have lived through many difficult years.
During the COVID-19 pandemic children’s parties, school plays and graduations almost disappeared. It felt like our line of work could simply stop.
Then came 24 February 2022.
Like millions of Ukrainians, we did not know what would come next. Yet just two weeks after the full-scale invasion began, the store opened its doors to visitors again.
We saw how much children need positive emotions even in hard times. That is why we kept working, creating new looks and helping families celebrate.
And we keep doing it today.
What we believe in
We do not chase the cheapest.
Most of the clothing and footwear in our store comes from Ukrainian manufacturers we have worked with for many years. We pay close attention to fabric quality, tailoring and the comfort of children’s designs.
That is why we carry mid-range and upper-mid-range pieces — the kind we would gladly choose for our own children and grandchildren.
We believe children’s clothing should be beautiful, comfortable and well made. We have held to that principle for more than twenty years.
