OUR MANTRA
By S-kin is a brand that shares the same ethical and sustainable values as our sister brand, S-kin Studio Jewelry. We are committed to creating fashion that is both stylish and environmentally responsible, with a focus on ethical production practices.
As a brand, we understand the impact our actions have on the planet, and we take accountability for every step of our design process.
From the initial draft to the final product, we consider the environmental and ethical implications of our choices, ensuring that every piece we create is thoughtfully made.
Our pieces are designed for those who appreciate quality lifestyle goods that are both refined and considerate. We offer biannual collection launches with small batch productions and limited release collections.
In addition, we run a made-to-order model with limited ready stock to reduce excess waste. Our commitment is to provide you with timeless, high-quality pieces that are truly worth investing in.
We are proud to say that our materials are SEDEX certified and sustainably sourced from China. Our artisans work in above-average conditions, and we strive to maintain fair and responsible production practices at every stage of the manufacturing process.
How does
made-to-order work?
At the heart of our values, we want to create beautiful, slow sustainably-made designs.
We eschew the conventional practice of producing clothes for quick turnaround and profit, opting instead to offer small-batch, ready-to-ship stock that you can shop from.
If your preferred item sells out during the week, don't worry! You can still order it made-to-order, customized to your size and color preference.
Similar to your favorite neighborhood bakery that bakes small batches of pastries on select days, we limit the quantity of clothing pieces sold per opening, while also offering a limited number of ready-to-ship sizes for the duration of the 1-week opening. This approach ensures that we avoid overproduction, deadstock, and waste. Items that are marked as 'sold out' are unable to be made to be order/pre-ordered.
Stay updated on our upcoming summer and winter collection launch dates by following our social media handle @byskinstudio_. By doing so, you can ensure that you never miss our opening weeks.
