How Wittchen started

This article is independent and not affiliated with Wittchen. Trademarks belong to their respective owners. We are not an authorized dealer.

This is a short independent history of Wittchen. It is not a catalog, and Poland Buying Agent does not speak for the brand.

Jedrzej Wittchen started the company in 1990 after selling leather goods he had brought back as gifts, then built a brand around that idea. An Italy collection followed in 1991, stores grew, and the firm later listed on the Warsaw exchange. The name sounds foreign on purpose, but the company is Polish, with operations near Warsaw. Shoppers abroad still hit a wall at Polish checkout. This page is the history. A current bag needs its own USD approval.

How an order moves

Send one link per item when you can. Add EU size, color, and voltage notes in order comments. Reference prices go on the form in PLN. We answer on the order page in USD, including the service fee. The first payment covers the goods and that fee. The second payment is international shipping after we weigh the packed parcel. You can ask us to hold a box at the warehouse while another Polish seller is still in transit. Questions stay in order comments so the approval has a date.

Prices you type, prices we write

Polish listings show PLN. Your order page shows USD. That split is deliberate. You keep the shelf number you saw. We keep the invoice, the service fee, and later the shipping bill in one currency you can approve. Read pricing for the fee rules. Use the shipping calculator only as a planning aid. Holiday markdowns can vanish at checkout. We rewrite the live total before you pay. We do not pair a zloty total and a dollar total in the same note.

Shipping after we have the goods

Domestic delivery in Poland brings the purchase to our warehouse. Parcel lockers are a Polish last mile, not a shipment to your country. International shipping starts only when you approve the second stage. Weight, box size, and the destination country change the carrier price. We do not promise a fixed worldwide rate here. The shipping calculator is a guide. Duties and taxes at your border are yours to expect. We do not call a shipment duty-free. If several Polish sellers are involved, say so in order comments and we can combine eligible goods into one outbound box. Fee rules stay on pricing. You enter PLN on the form. Final shipping is written in USD.

What we will not pretend

Poland Buying Agent is an independent buying service. We are not the seller, and we do not rent you an address for parcels you bought yourself. If Wittchen is out of stock, restricted, or priced far above the shelf figure you typed, we say so on the order page before any charge. Public holidays in Poland slow couriers. We pass along the delay the retailer gives us. You can decline the order if the new timing does not work. We also skip prescription medicine, controlled substances, and alcohol.

From the company story to a real purchase

History explains why shoppers look for Wittchen in Poland. It does not reserve stock. When you want a current piece, send the Polish product link or a boutique note. We check domestic availability, write USD item lines and the service fee, and ship after you approve both payment stages. The shelf number you type is in PLN. See pricing for the fee and the shipping calculator only as a planning aid.
