How Poli was created – a personal story from the TALLKA studio

 

Some clothes are born out of necessity, but they stay in our wardrobes long after that need has passed. That’s exactly the story of Poli – the blouse I designed alongside the Alto trousers, when TALLKA was just taking its very first steps. Back then, I wanted to create a set that would look luxurious and elegant on a tall silhouette, while still being comfortable to wear from morning until night.

I searched for the fabric for months. I visited wholesalers and manufacturers, touched, tested, and washed samples. I knew it had to be something exceptional. Finally, I discovered Lenzing™ Lyocell with a touch of elastane – a natural fiber that is soft, breathable, gentle on the skin, yet durable and resistant to fading. I knew instantly: this was our fabric.

Poli got her name quickly – from my younger daughter, Pola, who… fell in love with it from the very first wear. She wears it constantly, lends it to friends, and sometimes I even have to “rescue” my own blouse from her closet. I still remember the day I planned a look with caramel Emma trousers and the navy Poli, only to find an empty hanger. Pola had taken it to school that morning.

Today, Poli comes in two lengths – Long and SuperLong – and three colors: ecru, beige, and navy. For the 24/25 season, we’re already sewing sage green and more shades that might become new favorites. Because the truth is: once you try this blouse, you’ll quickly come back for another.

Maybe you’ll also find a place for Poli in your wardrobe. And when you put it on, you’ll see – it’s not just “another blouse.” It’s a piece that wants to stay with you, every day.

POLI doesn’t ask what the occasion is. She simply always works.
