Ukraine has a sophisticated fashion and textile industry — Kyiv's fashion week attracted international buyers before the invasion, and Ukrainian designers built export brands that reached European and US markets. Parolee fashion entrepreneurs are building US brands, managing production in overseas factories, and selling through US wholesale and DTC channels. Venezuelan parolees with fashion industry backgrounds are similarly building US apparel businesses. Bankable funds the inventory and working capital that bridge production to payment.
