Our Story
Tetiana Mershavka is a creative soul with a passion for paragliding and a love for nature and its amasing harmony.
She studied at the world-famous Kyiv Academy of Arts and worked as a conservator of a museum to develop her creative skills. Discovering paragliding, its proximity with the elements, the sensations of harmony and freedom, it was clear for her that both passions could be merge in something very unique.
Tetiana began designing gears for brands in the paragliding industry and gives her access to the specificities of the technology and also to the best material suppliers in the world.
In 2015, Tetiana decided to turn her dream into a reality and started designing paragliding clothing that was both stylish and functional. She began by creating a collection of clothes for female paragliders, using her artistic skills to hand-draw designs that reflected the passion and love she had for the sport. Tetyana named her brand "ChiciRicki"® - a playful name that captured the spirit of adventure and fun that paragliding represented.
She was determined to create clothes with Hight Quality Standarts that would allow female pilots to express their individuality and stand out from the crowd. Tetiana spent countless hours designing and perfecting her creations. She experimented with different fabrics and materials to ensure her clothes were durable and comfortable, yet still fashionable. She wanted her clothes to not only look good but also enhance the flying experience for her customers.
As word of mouth spread, demand for ChiciRicki clothing began to grow. Tetyana expanded her collection to include clothes for male pilots and accessories. However, the focus remained on designing clothes that would empower female pilots and celebrate their love for paragliding. Today, ChiciRicki is a well-known brand in the paragliding community, loved by pilots all around the world, and has become more than just a brand.
Always listening to the needs of the pilots, Tetiana continues to design new collections and is always pushing the boundaries to create clothes that are both functional and fashionable.
