Jagg (Jagg Jewels) is a jewelry brand created by Polish designer Jagoda Maruda, who is also a certified diamond expert and appraiser and a long-time vintage jewelry collector. Her expertise allows her to assess jewelry value and craftsmanship and to identify hallmarks that indicate a piece's period and origin. The Jagg Jewels boutique is located on Koszykowa Street in Warsaw's Srodmiescie (city-center) district. The shop sells both Maruda's own classic-contemporary designs and a curated selection of vintage and antique jewelry. Beyond retail, the renovated boutique space hosts lectures and workshops led by Maruda on jewelry appraisal topics - hallmark reading, dating pieces, and gold and diamond trading.
Family-run bespoke shoemaking workshop on Chmielna Street in Warsaw's Śródmieście district, founded in 1883 by Jan Kielman; past clients included President Ignacy Mościcki and General Władysław Sikorski, and the house still hand-sews made-to-measure shoes.

Jan Kielman left his family home at 18 to move to Warsaw in 1880, initially training in the confectionery trade before switching to shoemaking. After three years he earned the title of master shoemaker and opened his own workshop in 1883, which quickly built a devoted following for its neat, precise construction. The business has always operated from Chmielna Street in central Warsaw, and during the interwar years it took on some of the most prestigious commissions in the city, with clients reported to include President Ignacy Mościcki, General Władysław Sikorski, and performers such as tenor Jan Kiepura and actress Mieczysława Ćwiklińska. Sources associated with the house also mention Charles de Gaulle among its clientele, though this is less independently documented than the Polish figures. Today the workshop continues as a luxury bespoke operation, hand-sewing shoes made entirely to individual measure — one of Warsaw's longest-running shoemaking houses, now well past its 140th year in continuous operation on the same street.

Conservation-grade book and paper binding, plus custom folders and boxes, from a Warsaw workshop staffed by an Academy of Fine Arts-trained conservator.
Best for Conservation-grade book and paper binding, plus custom folders and boxes
Introligatornia Rozmus works from ul. Joteyki 20 in Warsaw, and its own site states its core trade plainly: folders and boxes, and binding of books and notebooks, alongside conservation work on paper and leather objects. That conservation side is backed by a named credential rather than left as an unverifiable craft claim — the workshop states its conservator holds a diploma from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts and works with certified conservation materials, which places the workshop's restoration work on a different footing from a purely decorative bindery.
The workshop describes its own origin loosely rather than with a founding date: it says it "arose from love of paper and passion for creation," a self-description quoted directly here rather than expanded into an invented history.
Alongside commissioned binding and conservation work, Rozmus runs bookbinding workshops at the Warsaw Uprising Museum and hosts weekend classes for both schools and adult learners, a public-education role layered on top of, not instead of, its commissioned bindery work. Rozmus is a small, currently operating and credentialed bindery rather than a large production house. Its value lies in the combination of commissioned binding, conservation and public teaching.
