This week's #PCIFocusoftheDay is all about legends, folktales and fairy tales in #PolishCulture. We start off with the legendary creature, the symbol and protector of Polish capital - the #MermaidofWarsaw, as imagined by #StanislawSzukalski @ArtofSzukalski.
In the 1930s, elegant women from Warsaw brought sheepskin coats, jerkins, and embroidered blouses home from #Zakopane.
Alongside other folk items, this became a part of the fashion of the day.
