Spatially inhomogeneous features in the spin and charge structures have been indicated in the number of experiments on high temperature materials e.g. La2-xSrxCuO4. The simple realization of this state is striped domain wall where charges form a nanoscale linear pattern in an antiferromagnetically ordered isolator. These represent a nanoscale distribution of charge and spin that is believed to be commensurably locked by the tilt distortions of the lattice. The phenomenological model of charge and spin inhomogeneities in the stripe phase of superconducting cuprates on the ground of Ginzburg-Landau theory is proposed. The corresponding free energy for the coupled charge and spin-density wave, and superconducting order parameters is constructed. The phase diagram for inhomogeneous superconducting state is discussed. The effective coherence length and the penetration depth in the London limit are introduced. The critical magnetic fields and the energy of the isolated vortex line are obtained.
