About Our Products

Poland is a country proudly steeped in many traditions—food, dancing, and handicrafts. Textiles have played an important part in Polish history. Decorative textiles were made as wall, window, and door hangings, as bed coverings, even for covering the backs of horses. Colorful textiles were produced for everyday clothing as well as for folk costumes. Textiles even provided social value, too, as people in the countryside wove together, creating regional patterns and designs. Contessa Fine Imports is bringing to the US marketplace fine silks and linens made by the Polish artisans of today using artistry developed over centuries.

We have discovered two small Polish businesses who prize quality, tradition, and artistry and we are proud to bring their products to the US marketplace.

Our linens come from a family-owned business with over 25 years of experience specializing in producing distinctive linens, incorporating designs created by watercolor artists and inspired by nature, in addition to striped patterns perfect for any home decor. With exceptional attention to detail, these artisans use European flax to weave the raw linen which is then taken straight from the loom to be washed and dried repeatedly, producing an end product that feels soft and luxurious to the touch. Whether it’s a hand-finished pure linen tea towel or a stylish poncho, our linens will last for years.

Our beautiful fine silks come from the “home” of Polish silk established in 1924. Artisans create lovely and exquisite handpainted scarves that feel like wearing a soft summer breeze. The scarves are individually painted in delicate floral watercolor-like designs, as well as in bright ombre-shaded options. Our silk lingerie is produced in a high-quality, luscious silk knit sure to make any woman feel glamourous and pampered. These unique silk products make wonderful gifts or are the finishing touch for any stylish outfit.
