Spring/Summer 2026
In the Kurpie region in northeastern Poland women traditionally adorned themselves with beautiful resin gemstones. They usually wore three strands of varying lengths and sizes. The amber used to make the beads was found in the soil, and not, contrary to the popular conception, on seaside beaches. After they’d been dug out, the nuggets were polished in local homes on wooden spinning wheels, just like the ones used for making yarn.

The Collection
The leading motif for our new collection is a color – a bright summer yellow. The longer we worked with the hue, the more it started reminding us of amber in its palest variety, sometimes called “milky” or “butterscotch.”

The Shoes
There is something incredibly dignified and magical in the tradition of the hand-polishing process. Today, digging for amber is banned, but we are hoping that the old customs of treating it will survive.
Very few people know how to treat amber in this traditional fashion – and in the Kurpie region, among those who remain are Stanisława and Tadeusz Konopka. They invited us to their home so that we could photograph our latest collection.
