SIMPLE STORY retro pink
In the Notes section of our Simple Story's production card there is a sentence: "The knit should relax for 24 hours before cutting it". Before it goes under the knife, it's pulled out of the beam and laid loosely into the form of so-called sheet to regain its flexibility and stretchability. Thanks to that, after sewing a particular model, there is no risk that it shrinks in the laundry or stretches out. It's one of the first things we notice in our sewing room in Bartoszyce - knit put loosely, which no one touches, as it's in the stage of relaxation! We want that too ;)
MoreMAXI SAFARI black
A safari-style dress? No problem. The only thing is: how to make jersey act like canvas?! Perfectly matched buckram is one of the secrets – stiff knit elements sewn into the stand-up collar, under the buttons, on pocket flaps. Choosing the right buckram is extremely difficult and requires a lot of trials – if it’s too stiff it can cause the knit to stretch, if it’s too soft it just doesn’t do its job. Buckrams are ordered in beams, they have different thickness – in our Mira dress we use two types: one for the sleeves and the other for the collar.
MoreWONDER DRESS MIDI retro pink
How to tell how classy a piece of clothing is? Make sure the inside is as thoroughly trimmed as the outside. Our technologist, Darek, fought like a lion for the quality of our Wonder Dress midi, including a stretcher at the waist that was really hard to reach by a sewing machine. At first he was being told that it's impossible, it would lengthen working time and increase costs, and yet it's not certain that it will succeed... In the end he managed to get what he wanted - the waist is clean on the inside, without any traces of thread. Darek's idea was a key to success: to get inside before attaching the sleeves and finish the dress with a decorative stretcher, and then sew the sleeves.
MoreCHIC SHIRT pretty yellow
Details are so important! We think about them almost as much as about new cuts and colours. To our new Chic Shirt pretty yellow we’ve chosen buttons made of mother of pearl. They look like little pieces of craft art – each one has a slightly different shape and thickness, as they’re made of natural shells that grow pearls.
MoreWRAP DRESS lavender blue
Our dresses are made of viscose produced in knitting place in Pabianice. Viscose is produced on the basis of natural cellulose (tree) fiber. Unlike synthetic fibers, this material is not an effect of chemical treatment. Thanks to this, it behaves similarly to cotton. There are more things to compare: viscose “breathes” as linen, it can be as soft as silk. Fun fact: it’s the most common non-synthetic fiber that is vegan.
MoreUPPER EAST COAT black
Selection of material often proves to be the most important stage of design. Most of our knits are produced in a friendly knitting place in Pabianice. Upper East Coat is made of "Mr. Robert's jersey" - named after the owner of that place that made it exclusively for us. In this case, the micromodal fibers are the key to success. Thanks to them, the knitwear has a classy cashmere shine, that adds nobility without loosing softness. We make our bomber jackets of the same material.
MoreWONDER DRESS MIDI black
The "woman" which is "dressed up" in our Wonder Dress is an extraordinary iron on which you put an already sewn dress. It resembles a mannequin. A hot steams that puffs from the bottom straightens all elements of the clothing in a few seconds. It looks a bit like a famous movie sciene of Marilyn Monroe in "The Seven Year Itch", especially since the steam is constantly exploding in a big ironing room. There, apart from some "women", large tables for so -called "interoperational ironing", a neccessery stage in the sewing process, can be found. The individual elements of clothing are ironed before they're given to the tailors.
MoreSKINNY "JEANS" black
Sometimes our hunt for the perfect material takes even a year - this was the case with Skinny Jeans, that are not denim at all. The idea was to create them in a way, that everyone who loves skinny pants could forget about their flaws - such as pulled out knees or uncomfortable waistband. We could talk about the waistband itself for a long time - it was made in Poland, sewn with elastic threads thanks to which it won't change its shape, even in the laundry. It's unusually elastic. That's why these are the most comfortable skinny jeans we've ever had.
MoreTRACKBAG
That was out first bag, designed back in October 2011 - only one week into our new company when we were inventing the whole concept for our brand. We kept improving the bag constantly. Someone asked for an inside pocket so we did it and decided to keep it there forever. "Klara hand-made the first bag herself, and I just added the finishing touches. Mostly supporting the handles so that they wouldn't stretch when carrying heavy things. My first bag was far from perfect but I still wear it and my friends like it that way." says Renata Jeżewska, the seamstress. "At the beginning I would sew about fifteen bags a month and thought it was a lot. A year later I was able to make a few hundred a month!"
