You can't change the world, but you can change your purse...

świata nie zmienisz, ale nerkę możesz

Bryzka was born out of a need for independence and rebellion against consumerism. Our
products are a response to mass production, the fast pace of life, and the pursuit of novelty.
Most of what we need to produce our waist packs has already been manufactured. With a few
pairs of hands, we’re able to conjure up unique and one-of-a-kind bags from materials that
are 100% second-hand or destined for disposal.

Hi, it's Aneta B. Bryzka here. A Polish language teacher who started sewing... during break time!

From an early age I felt a strong need to express myself through clothes and accessories. Discouraged by chain stores and the repetition of the offered clothes, I discovered thrift shops, which I fell in love with from the first hunted gem. While studying Polish and working in schools in Lodz, I spent every free time looking for unique second-hand items. This confirmed my belief that in this way I can be 100% myself, and at the same time I do not contribute to the production of unethical clothing.

However, for a long time I couldn’t find the perfect handbag that was primarily practical. I needed something where I could put the most important things (such as wallet, phone and keys) while having both hands free. So I decided to sew something like this! I signed up for a sewing course, found the perfect materials in a second hand store and that’s how my first bag was born!

Today, Bryzka is a small, independent company creating in line with the principles of slow fashion and recycling.

Materials for waist packs and bags come from second-hand sources or
fabrics destined for disposal (such as end-of-series remnants or scraps from wholesalers). Embedded in the brand’s philosophy is the idea of zero waste, utilizing existing resources,
and supporting the local economy. All bags are crafted in a small workshop. I create them
myself with the help of my mom. I also collaborate with experienced seamstresses in Warsaw.
Each of my items is unique – due to the limited amount of material, I mainly sew individual
models. I also fulfill personalized orders. I’m happy to transform your favorite jacket or pants
into a waist pack, bag, backpack, cosmetics pouch, or yoga mat bag, giving the fabric a second
life. Creating beautiful and entirely new items from something old brings immense
satisfaction and contributes positively to our planet
