• Every Polish region has its own folk traditions and costumes.

Now a bit about the history of the Polish folk costumes: Folk costumes were the most trendy in the second half of XIX century when cheap and massively produced fabrics become available. Besides, peasants were not serfs anymore and their economical and political status improved, so they could afford to buy more and they wanted to show their pride by wearing traditional costumes.
