KULTURA: Polish Sisters launch Polish Pride Apparel

Polish Sisters launch Polish Pride Apparel 
Anna and Patricia Lakomy have launched a modern and patriotic apparel line – Apolonia, for other Polish-Americans.  “It’s not what you wear, but being proud of who you are” reads Apolonia’s slogan. Their original, top selling design is the Polish-American Lips. These are white and red, just like the Polish flag and are available in many styles.  

Originally from NYC, the sisters were raised by Polish immigrant parents who came into the country as political refugees. Currently, the family resides in Connecticut. Anna is a graduate of the University of Connecticut and Patricia currently attends Southern Connecticut State University. Both sisters attended Saturday Polish schools – thanks to which they are bilingual.  

The Lakomy sisters said: “No matter where life takes us a piece of our hearts will always be in Poland. We celebrate that unique part of us with Apolonia.”  Their designs can be seen on https://teespring.com/stores/apoloniaapparel.
