 Posted: 07/20/06 - 08:44 Post subject: G-Strings and Manufacturing flexibility
Free enterprise at its best !!!
Grannies' G-strings go global
G-strings crocheted by Polish grannies have proved such a success they are being sold worldwide on the internet.
No longer able to sell their hand-crafted doilies and table clothes, women in the tiny Polish mountain village of Koniakow turned their crocheting skills to making sexy lingerie.
And the business has proved such a success that the crochetiers have now launched an online shop for people around the world to buy the knitted underwear.
Tadeusz Rucki, who funds the granny g-string firm, said: "People aren't only mad about g-strings in traditional white crochet, but also in red and black."
But the head of the local Society for Folk Art, Helena Kamieniarz, is not happy with the new business, saying: "What is being done to our old traditions is a disgrace. The art of crochet is not intended for making such garments."
The crocheted g-strings can be ordered from http://koniakow.com for around £17 (US $ 32.00) each.
