About Us
At our heart, We believes that clothing should mean something, not just be worn. We exist for people who want more than just functional or trendy items – individuals who want pieces that reflect their ambitions, values, and legacies. Our reason for being lies in the pursuit of lasting significance. We design for lives that are lived intentionally, not for fleeting trends.
We aim to create garments that encourage self-discovery. For us, what you wear is not just a surface choice; it is an expression of who you are and what you achieve. A Jan Korba piece is never merely an accessory; it is a companion in life.
A Vision Anchored in Timelessness
The vision of Jan Korba goes beyond mere collections and seasons. It represents a generational goal: to create work that remains meaningful after 10, 20, or even 50 years. Our Big Hairy Audacious Goal is intentionally broad, pushing us to rise to the challenge each day. We see Jan Korba not just as a fashion house but also as a cultural reference for rarity, refinement, and intentional living.
To guide this ambition, we operate from a clear set of values. For our clients, we embody authenticity, discretion, craftsmanship, legacy, and empowerment. For our team, we promote responsibility, mastery, innovation, integrity, and collaboration. In our market role, we uphold clarity, consistency, excellence, partnership, and vision. These values are not mere slogans; they are practical tools that enable everyone involved with Jan Korba to make meaningful, independent decisions that support our mission.
Rare by Design
Rarity is not just a marketing claim at Jan Korba; it is our design principle. Each garment exists within a deliberate limitation. Once a collection is released, it is final. There are no reproductions, no restocks, and no second editions. Every creation captures a unique moment in our house’s story, and once that moment passes, it becomes part of the personal history of those who wear it.
This principle extends to our bespoke offerings. Here, clothing is not simply produced; it is made through dialogue. Each piece starts with a conversation and a shared vision between the client and the house. Our artisans then craft a unique garment, shaped by both materials and the individuality of the person who will wear it. These works cannot be replicated; they are true one-of-a-kind pieces, infused with the intimacy of their creation and the permanence of heirlooms.
For us, rarity also means depth. A Jan Korba piece is designed to last, both physically and emotionally. This is why we choose only the finest materials, selected for their durability, not just their looks. Our craftsmanship respects both tradition and precision. Our aesthetic draws from timeless codes instead of fleeting trends. Each creation is meant to be lived in, remembered, and eventually passed down.
By focusing on rarity, we do not create clothing to fill a wardrobe. We create items to accompany milestones. A shirt may carry the memory of an important meeting. A jacket may tell the story of a journey. Over time, these garments gain value, not through markets, but through lives. That is what it means to be “rare by design.”
Building with Intention
The way we build Jan Korba reflects our design approach. Growth is intentional, connections are curated, and nothing is left to chance. Clients find our house through meaningful interactions—editorial features, personal recommendations, and thoughtfully chosen events. Sales happen in spaces that honor the importance of choice: our digital flagship and private consultations. Each transaction is treated as an encounter, not merely a volume.
Internally, our structure promotes clarity and responsiveness. Each role in the house has specific responsibilities—who sets the vision, who ensures execution, who builds relationships, and who delivers creations. We plan through Objectives and Key Results, allowing us to be ambitious while keeping our actions precise. Modern tools support transparency; communication channels, filing systems, and task management are designed for both efficiency and continuity. This structure allows us to expand without losing focus. As we grow, we stay true to our principle: everything must be intentional, nothing accidental.
Towards Legacy
Jan Korba is not designed for the seasons but for a lasting legacy. Our goal is not just to be worn but to be remembered. Every garment we release, every bespoke piece we create, and every interaction with our house contributes to this broader ambition: to serve as a point of reference for those who choose to live with depth, meaning, and refinement. Our role is not to compete with the present but to shape what will endure. This is why we exist. This is why we create. And this is why every Jan Korba piece is rare by design.
