Koniak楂� (help绌抧fo) is a village in Beskid ?l?ski mountain range in Cieszyn County, Silesian Voivodeship, southern Poland. It is the highest elevated village in Silesian Beskids and lies in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia. The village is primarily known for its tradition of intricate lace-making. Recently, some villagers employed their skills in manufacturing lace underwear for women.
Koniak楂� lace
The tradition of lace making in Koniak楂� is more than 150 years old.[1] Koniak楂� laces are handmade by crocheting cotton thread, using motifs inspired by nature. Lace motifs are worked separately then connected to form larger pieces. The lace additions began appearing in pillows, shirts, blouses, and tablecloths around 1900.
Real fame was brought to Koniak楂� by lace tablecloths and table runners, which reached the tables of kings, aristocrats, and bishops. One was prepared for Queen Elizabeth II and another for Pope John Paul II. There are many examples of Koniak楂� lace laying on altars in Poland and other countries.[1]
Lace-making became subject to anger and disapproval in 2003, dividing the small Koniak楂� society, when some young lace makers started to make underwear out of Koniak楂� lace. Some elders in Koniak楂� view this activity as a disgrace upon an ancient and respectful profession; however, the new twist on Koniak楂� lace was a big success.
Koniak楂� lingerie is a byproduct of the lace making tradition in the village. Although traditional lace has always been a village staple for industry - it wasn't until lace makers turned their knitting needles to crafting g-strings, thongs and other lingerie items that the little village of 3,000 had its products become more and more popular.
Understanding that the Polish political system went through upheaval after the fall of communism in 1989, the $1,000 tableclothes became much harder to sell. Although considered heirlooms and taking more than a week to craft - tableclothes and doilies weren't bringing in enough money for the village lace makers, which affected all aspects of live.
The traditionalistic village has been dealing with issues of morality, money and tradition ever since the g-strings, thongs and brassieres have been sold.
