About KHB by Design

KHB by Design (KHB) is London based luxury womenswear and young girls’ fashion brand. We create beautiful unapologetic bright, detailed oriented clothes made from high-quality fabrics sourced by reputable suppliers. Our clothes are manufactured in the UK by a highly experienced and qualified family-run manufacturer. We design clothes with style and quality in mind. Our brand focuses on creating beautiful garments that pass the test of time; our design and style transcend trends and seasons.

We make timeless fashion, not fast fashion.

Meet our Founder and Creative Director

Kathy Hamilton-Baker is a British Nigerian born in Lagos, Nigeria, in 1983. She arrived in England in 1989, aged five and was raised in South East London.

After being frustrated with the lack of garments available to suit the style, and look she has in mind for an occasion. She decided to create simple but beautifully ornamented dresses for women who want to look their best whatever the occasion.

Our values

  • KHB by Design collections will be available in limited stock, so they will not be restocked once they are sold. Our focus is on slow luxury fashion, designing and creating beautiful garments made from high-quality fabrics and manufactured here in the UK. KHB by Design is not just creating beautiful clothes; the brand creates a lifestyle and a way of life. Our collections aim to transcend seasons, time and trends. We want you to feel good whatever the season.

  • We provide the service of repairing any faults should one occur in terms of manufacturing faults by a highly experienced and trusted garment repair and alteration company free of charge. If the garment is not repairable, then a replacement will be provided, or a full refund will be provided to the value of the original purchase price. We will also offer the same service for non-manufacturing faults free of charge in keeping with our philosophy of “fashion made to last”.

  • To minimise the impact our packaging has on the environment. All orders are shipped using a mixture of sustainable, reusable, recycled and bio-degradable materials. We opted for garment bags instead of plastic for packaging. Sustainable hangers instead of plastic hangers and fully sustainable, recyclable, and biodegradable Kraft mailing boxes, tissue paper along with fully recyclable and compostable tape and stickers.

  • We contribute to building back the UK economy by sourcing highly skilled and experienced UK-based manufacturers to produce our collections. We invest in SME and family-run businesses as part of our business model. KHB by Design is committed to investing our time and resources to carry out two days of volunteering work each quarter. All employees are encouraged to give back to our community by offering their time and expertise to help a charitable cause of their choice and share their experiences on our Corporate Social Responsibility page.

Mini-me

The ‘Mini-me’ collection is inspired by my daughter Valentina’s love for wearing party dresses, whatever the occasion. KHB by Design offers a limited range of designs available in the Mini-me collection for those of us who love matching outfits with our little ones!
