In this series, TLP will narrow our coverage of lingerie around the globe and focus on the country of Poland. Poland has a long history of textile manufacturing and since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Poland has been embracing market economies. Freed from quotas and mandated manufacturing, many Polish textile companies are stepping on to the world stage.

Venus is smaller than some of the other companies we have focused on in this series. Their collections are smaller - probably 12-15 pieces per season. The site is available in Polish and the company doesn’t have a broad distribution outside of Poland. That is too bad. Despite their smaller size, Venus has produced a well designed product that rivals UK brands like Yes Master or Playful Promises. You can find the brand at online at Kontri in Poland. Retail prices are around 45 zt (~20 US, ~10 UK) for bras and about half that for matching briefs. If you are interested in wholesale, Matterhorn in the EU carries this brand and others. Find Matterhorn online at www.lingerie-wholesale.biz.
