Polish startup has appeared in the fashion industry too. Showroom is a fashion e-commerce platform offering polish designers fashion brands. In 2014 had been sold some of its shares to the international fashion powerhouse Burda International. From that point, the owner made a decision to speed up Showroom’s plans for global expansion, which cause platform’s development for all independent designs from the region of Central and Eastern Europe. Other polish startups which are selling independent designer’s products are Mustache and MyBaze.com.

The last startup on the polish market which in our opinion is worth to mention is Ecoteria, which allows 3D printing of fashion accessories such as bracelets, watches, straps and other jewelry and selling all of these products on their site.
