Welcome to the official blog of the Polish Etsy team! Meet almost 100 etsy crafters, artists and designers from Poland and visit inspiring places.

This is a glimpse of what you'll see browsing etsy with "poletsy" tag:

POLetsy Team was established by patkas, annawoz and SchneiderGallery. I asked them to tell us few words about this project.

It's a group of Poles living in Poland and abroad. We thought it would be nice to gather here all of us, people with Polish roots, so that we could create nicely prospering Team.

Our main goal is to share various skills and experiences with international audience, promote our shops and Etsy itself on Polish market. I hope that together we can spread the word and show the entire world how talented Polish artist are!
