Bespoke tailoring and dressmaking workshop. Karol Rzeszutko
The history of tailoring in the Krupa family dates back to the 20th century when Antoni Krupa began his vocational training. In 1926 he and his wife Maria opened a tailoring and dressmaking workshop in Buk. Their son Henryk also showed interest in tailoring. In 1963 he opened his own workshop in Poznan.
In the family’s next two generations there were also those who saw their future in tailoring. However, as Henryk’s grandson Karol says, his path to the profession was different than his mother Elżbieta’s:
‘My mum fell in love with the profession, just like my grandfather. History has come full circle – my grandad was trained by his father and my mum was trained by her father.’
