Meet Monika who sew our products
Monika, tell us a little about your sewing studio. Who are you?
My name is Monika, and I run Wijmar Sport, a sewing studio based in Poland. We are a close-knit team of skilled seamstresses who take great pride in craftsmanship and precision. Over the years, we have specialized in high-quality apparel production — combining traditional sewing expertise with modern techniques. Every garment that leaves our studio is handled with care, attention, and respect for the fabric and the brand it represents.
You have been sewing for LOOW right from the beginning in 2015. What has that journey been like?
Our partnership with LOOW began in 2015, when they were just starting out. From the very first prototypes, we shared their passion for simplicity, quality, and timeless design. It’s been an inspiring journey to grow alongside them — from small batches to a full collection of merino wool essentials. We’ve watched LOOW evolve, but the dedication to quality has always remained the same.
What does it require of a seamstress to work with a fine material like merino wool?
Working with merino wool requires patience, precision, and experience. The fabric is soft and delicate, so every stitch must be accurate and smooth. You can’t rush the process — you have to truly understand how the material behaves to preserve its natural elasticity and comfort. It takes a careful hand and an eye for detail to make each piece perfect.
When you look at a finished LOOW T-shirt, what is the most important detail to you?
For me, it’s the seams and the fit. The clean lines and even stitching are what give the shirt its elegant simplicity. Every small detail — from the neck finish to the sleeve alignment — reflects the quality we strive for. When everything comes together perfectly, you can feel it.
What makes you most proud of the clothes you send out from here?
I’m most proud knowing that our work is part of something lasting. These are garments made to be worn and loved for years. When I see a LOOW shirt, I see the effort, care, and craftsmanship of our entire team. It’s a great feeling to know that what we make here in Poland is appreciated all over the world.
