By S-kin is based in Melbourne, Australia. Created in 2023, By S-kin is the sister brand of S-kin Studio Jewelry. Created by the same Creative Director, Chi Mai, is proud and grateful to again be working and living on Wurundejeri land. Come visit us at the Cremorne Boutique.

By S-kin functions on a drop model which means that our online store is only open for a couple weeks of the year. Each collection will be available to purchase when the shop opens for its launch for a 1 week period, the same collection will be available to purchase 1 month later when the store front opens for another week. During this time we will have a small selection of readymade pieces available for purchase. If you purchase a ready made item, your item will be shipped to you within 5 business days.

 However, when the ready made items are exhausted you will have the option to shop made to order. This means we will special order the item for you from our manufacturers so we are only making what we need and are not creating excessive waste or product. Made to order items will require 6-8 weeks to produce before it is dispatched to you. Items that are marked as 'sold out' are unable to be made to be order/pre-ordered.

To maintain the exclusivity of each collection, our storefront will only be open one week at a time. This ensures that our production periods are not too long and we aren’t overproducing anything.

We have pre-made some sizes to allow those that are super keen to shop the collection to get their hands on the collection first so that they can start wearing their By S-kin pieces asap! We also wanted to offer an inclusive size range but as a small business we are unable to stock all sizes on hand as we are unsure what quantities are desired. We hope in the future we will be able to accurately predict demand and have the desired quantities ready to ship. Items that are marked as 'sold out' are unable to be made to be order/pre-ordered.

At the conclusion of the 1 week shopping period we will send the required units to our manufacturers to start production. Production takes around 6-8 weeks to be completed and sent to our warehouse in Melbourne. Once received at our warehouse we will dispatch it to your desired location. Items that are marked as 'sold out' are unable to be made to be order/pre-ordered.

All products are displayed in AUD (Australian Dollar). Your orders are processed in AUD, and is converted to the local currency via your bank or payment method.
