What Epica does
Epica.com.ua (legal name per public-facing material: Epica.com.ua) is a Ukrainian online retailer specializing in women's lingerie, pajamas, and sleepwear, with the website meta title also referencing swimwear. The catalog is organized into two core categories — Women's Lingerie (including coordinated sets) and Pajamas (subdivided into shorts, pants, and warm/robe sets) — with products primarily sourced from Turkish manufacturers in fabrics such as satin, terry (welsoft), premium flannel, and lace. Sizes range from S through 2XL. Note: the firmographic profile supplied describes "Epica Group" as a provider of branding, corporate gifts, print design, outdoor advertising, packaging, horeca, and web design services, which is inconsistent with the actual website content; the analysis below is grounded in the verified website data, which represents the only first-party evidence available.
The storefront is built on the Horoshop e-commerce platform and operates exclusively as a direct-to-consumer online channel within Ukraine, with 24/7 self-serve shopping and customer support by phone, Telegram, Viber, and email. Orders are fulfilled through two logistics partners — Nova Poshta (primary, offering branch, parcel locker, and courier options with 1-3 day delivery) and UkrPoshta (secondary, with 4-6 day branch delivery) — and a free-shipping threshold of 3,000 UAH. Payments are accepted via bank transfer, online payment through the WayForPay gateway, and cash on delivery via Nova Poshta. The company is headquartered at Heroiv Ukraine Street 24, Lokhvytsia, Poltava Oblast.
Epica monetizes through one-time unit retail sales priced in Ukrainian Hryvnia (1,000-1,700 UAH per unit). It is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or external funding, and operates with a headcount band of 11-50 employees. The company maintains social profiles on Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, X, and LinkedIn, but no paid advertising, content marketing, or marketplace presence was identified. Distribution is single-country (Ukraine only), and there is no evidence of geographic, product, or operational expansion beyond its core lingerie/pajama/sleepwear assortment.
