Reserve Your Commission

A By Kaminski piece is not pulled from a shelf. It is made one at a time, sewn slowly in the studio. Reserving a commission reserves your place in that making, and pays for the fabrics that make it possible.

How a commission works

1. You choose your piece, from the current collection or something made for you.
2. You pay a 50% deposit. It secures your place in the making schedule and buys the fabrics for your piece.
3. We make it. Your lead time is stated when you order, per piece.
4. The balance is due before dispatch, invoiced to you.
5. Your piece arrives numbered, with its hand-finished certificate, and your one fitting and alterations are included.

The terms, plainly

• Every piece is numbered one-of-one. There is no second.
• Commissions start at £1,955 and never go below it.
• Lead times are real: a thick-yarn design takes two to three weeks from deposit to dispatch, one to one and a half weeks in the studio and one and a half to two with the tailor. A complex fine-yarn design takes six to ten weeks on the same split.
• One fitting and alterations are included in every commission.
• The balance is invoiced before dispatch. Your deposit goes straight to work: chem-free fabrics, samples, hand-finished certificates and exclusive packaging.

Who makes it

Luxury built on care rather than spectacle. Fabrics are chosen chem-free where they can be, and slow work is fairly paid. Every piece is designed and made by hand by Diana Kaminski, one at a time, in small series; building a small atelier is the next step as the house grows.
