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.

kostar lingerie

Kostar dates from 1989. On their website, they mention they had some problems early on with material supply, but have overcome those issues and now import from Italy, France, and Switzerland. The Kostar company also leans heavily on computer automation including sewing room automation and laser cutting of embroidery. The Kostar offering is smaller compared to other Polish companies. There are two lines: Elegant and Private. Elegant is the fashion line and Private is the everyday basics. The site is available in English, German, and Polish. The collections look like they have bras in larger sizes and can be found online up to 95E (~UK 42E, ~US 42D) and the bottoms are cut up to 4XL.




Kostar is available online from:

The Kinga website is striking. Instead of the ever-present anonymous electronic beats playing in the background, the site opens to full screen photos and a jazz soundtrack. It is Flash based and available in English or Polish. Kinga began in the 90s as is familiar to most of the companies producing lingerie in Poland. They have achieved their ISO 9000 certification in manufacturing and have won other awards too. Kinga offers lingerie, some swimwear, and some outerwear. The style is classically feminine with a heavy use of embroidery, flower details, and small bows. Kinga has retail locations throughout Poland.
