Fodor's Expert Review Pan tu nie stał

The name of this trendy clothing manufacturer is an ironic reminder of Communist times, and it means: "Hey, you weren't standing here" (as in: "Don't jump the queue"). The irony, it seems, is mixed with a pinch of nostalgia for these homegrown designs that are produced in the factories of Łódź. Fun T-shirts, jumpers, socks, and hats announce their local provenance playfully but proudly (tags say they are designed and made "in Łódź. You know, a town in Poland"). The inexpensive pieces make nice souvenirs.
