Country of Origin?

Roving correspondent DC snapped this picture and sent it to me on New Year's Day, presumably while shopping at Dillard's:
Curious, I did a quick search on the google. At first I thought the tag said "Ukrania" (which, it turns out, is a tiny country in Central America), but it actually says "Ukraina" which is presumably a misspelling of "Ukraine." Any further insight is welcome.

    It's not exactly a misspelling, it's just not the English spelling; it's the eastern European name for the country, spelled with the English alphabet. It's like saying "Made in Polska." Ukrainians have their own alphabet, so that probably confused the issue.

    Look it up on Vikipeedia!
