From communist Poland to the sun-soaked runways of Miami, Agnieszka S. has lived a life few could imagine—one shaped by resilience, bold choices, and an unwavering commitment to authenticity.
In this exclusive Gurus Magazine feature by Sari Cohen, discover how Agnieszka turned a childhood of scarcity into a philosophy of craftsmanship—creating Ania Designs, a boutique brand of timeless leather sandals, bags, and soon, resort wear.
