During my studies, I started creating my own clothes due to boredom. It was the year 2000. Sometimes people would ask me where I got such clothes and I started to accept orders. I took off so well that opening a shop became my dream. Thanks to the money earned by painting nails in the United States, I managed to open a shop in 2004.
I Ran the shop with Maja Kuczmińska up until 2010, the shop would usually be located on the first floor, it was a mix between a shop, workshop a café and a gallery. The shop was also a place for parties, concerts, photo shoots but mostly a place for selling clothes that I designed.
Every year, the shop would change its location along with its character, in other words, it was developing. The shop produced several dozens of dresses, skirts, trousers, jackets, shirts, outfits, earrings, necklaces, handbags and backpacks. Among the popular merchandise one could find sweatshirts with ears, edible chocolate earrings, scarf bought by meters and picnic bags In 2006, a series of clothes was established, that were made from vintage fabric bought from under sofas of ladies, who reported to the store.
Now that is called upcycling. In 2008 it had become the laureate of the British Council International Young Fashion Entrepreneur and it made an appearance during the London fashion week, it is known as the first concept store in Poland.
The store projects were published, among others: Wysokie obcasy, Elle, Elle Deco, Twój styl, Glamur Time out, Kraków post, Gazeta wyborcza, Dziennik polski, Tvp, Tvn.
