Why does Poland have so many lingerie companies?
This is mainly due to large state-owned factories producing clothing and lingerie not only for Poland but also for much of the Eastern Bloc.
After the fall of the USSR, there was a period of economic transformation leading to factories being privatised, with numerous small to medium sized companies taking over the gap in the market. With their outstanding skill, innovation and large workforce they focused on perfecting lingerie for fuller-busted women.
Over the coming decades, the influence of global markets, particularly from the UK, created an increased consumer demand for a wider range of sizes.
Polish brands have become known worldwide for their narrow underwires, projected cup shapes, feminine design and a great fit for women with a fuller bust but a smaller frame.
