About Kapotka

Kapotka is a brand that gives forgotten fabrics a second life. I create unique clothing and accessories from them. Each design is created only once. This means you can be sure you're wearing something truly special, unique, and carefully crafted.

I believe that clothing can become more than just a garment. It can evoke memories, create a sense of closeness, and stay with you for years to come. That's what I want to create: pieces with soul that, over time, will become part of your story.

Why do I use such fabrics?

I am inspired by Polish fabrics from past decades: jacquards, embroidery, and patterns whose beauty too often ends up at the bottom of the wardrobe.

This fascination also has a very personal dimension. I didn't have the opportunity to meet my grandparents, but I've been left with beautiful fabrics because they were also sewing enthusiasts. It was these fabrics that made me realize that fabric can hold memories, emotions, and the warmth of home.

That's why Kapotka wasn't created solely to create responsible fashion. It was also created to preserve the stories imprinted in fabrics and allow them to live on, this time in a completely new form.

About me

My name is Ola. I studied design and sewing for years, first studying at the Academy of Fine Arts, then working as a clothing and fabric designer for other brands, and then creating costumes for films.

Each of these experiences taught me a lot, but over time I felt more and more strongly that I wanted to create differently.

Slower. More consciously.

Thus, kapotka was born - a brand created in harmony with my values and respect for craftsmanship. Today, I source fabrics, design, sew, and refine every detail myself. This ensures that every item leaving my studio has been made with the same care I would want to wear.
