Polish Lingerie

Corin: Polish Lingerie

December 4, 2009 by Mandolina

Corin is one of Poland’s leading manufacturers of exclusive womens underwear. When the owners launched the brand about 14 years ago – they did dream to hope their lingerie would make it across the globe and get a fan-base well outside of Poland and Europe. Today, Corin has an extensive collection consisting of two lines: it’s “whole year through” collection of classic basics called “ex-prompt” – and its more high-end “fashion line” that’s released twice a year for Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter.

When we asked Corin-representative Kasia Wachowiak what makes Corin special, she said: “Our experience in making the unique lingerie collections is based mainly on French tradition. For many years we have been using the experience of great French designers and constructors of lingerie. They directly supervise and assist in our Design Department, and make sure what we make is not only true to form; but unique and special!”

With a complete range that goes from A-cups all the way up to European I-cups – Corin has what it takes to be a true “for everyone” label. I have yet to try them out – but am on the lookout and will report back when I’ve had the chance!

Roza – Polish Lingerie Fall 2009

July 10, 2009 by Rene

It has been a while since we’ve featured Roza in TLP. The company now offers a web store at www.roza-bielizna.pl. The store is only available in Polish and offers pricing in Ztoty. (Visit www.xe.com for conversion rates.)

The brand continues to focus on elaborate strings, garters, and knickers with some bras and camis too. Prices are very reasonable. I’m guessing the quality is similar to other Polish manufacturers and with budgets tight all around, some splurges on a special kit might make you smile.

If you feel less adventurous, you can shop at retailer Cupid Lingerie. Prices are still reasonable, but I’m not sure Cupid is carrying all of the new pieces.

Pigeon – Polish Lingerie

May 13, 2009 by Rene

In this series, TLP is focusing on the country of Poland. Review the entire series on TLP.

Pigeon is another lingerie manufacturer in Poland. There isn’t a lot of information about the company, but judging from the past articles on Polish lingerie companies, they likely have a similar background. What seems unique about Pigeon is their nearly exclusive focus on unstructured garments. I haven’t seen boning or underwires. Even the slim fitting garments seem to get their structure from stretch lace and not from a laced up back.

Without structured offerings, Pigeon has focused on the camisole, babydoll, slip, and basque-like tops. They don’t offer bras in any of the pictures I’ve been able to find. Some of these are quite pretty and I would like to see this brand picked up for broader European retail distribution. (See Matterhorn wholesale intermediary for options if you are a retailer)

Pigeon is available from Polish web sites like

Prices are 50-70 zt or starting at 10£ or $15 US. More photos can be seen in these composite pictures.

Polish Lingerie: Szame 2009

April 10, 2009 by Rene

Last year, TLP introduced the Polish brand Szame. At the time, I wasn’t sure the company was a going concern. It seems they are still applying their trade as a new company store has been launched. The corporate site is under construction, but the commerce site is up (a good business choice).

On the left is the Florence, available in string , knicker, bra, and slip. Nearly everything is on sale right now and this is down from 99 zt to 39-90 zt (about 13-30 US or 10-24 UK ). The slip is semi transparent with a few details in the lace and some gathered lace around the neckline with spaghetti straps. On the right is the Rossi. This set is available in bra, string, or knicker. A dark maroon background is covered with a floral pattern and pink contrasting lace. On sale for 19-39 zt.

On the left is the Alicja. This is a basic black knicker and bra set. The knicker has some gathered fabric stretching from one side to the other. On sale for 19-59 zt. On the right is Joyce. This is a black base with white polka dots and a little red lace trim accents. Find it on sale from 79 to 19-29 zt.

Esotiq Lingerie 2009

February 20, 2009 by Rene

Last year, TLP told you about Esotiq from Poland. In 2009, Esotiq still divides their offering into Young and Woman. This year’s winter Woman collection has a colour range of violet, brown, blue, light pearl, and apricot. It includes roughly a dozen pieces. This winter’s Young collection features some pastels as well.

The collection is mostly based on female names. From the Woman collection, here are the Denni, Dianne, Dream, and Lily. From the Young collection, here are Jacinda and Teja.
