The Brand
Who is KASAI?
KASAI is a premium womenswear brand designed and produced in our atelier in Bucharest, Romania. We work in small, intentional batches rather than on factory lines. Every garment is made with care, using materials sourced from heritage suppliers in Italy, Germany, and Poland, many with over a century of production legacy. We operate on a slow fashion philosophy: deliberate creation, conscious materials, and a deep respect for the body and the environment.
Is KASAI an established brand?
Yes. KASAI has presented two official collections at Milano Fashion Week, organised by the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana (CNMI), the governing body of Italian fashion and one of the most respected institutions in the global industry. Official CNMI calendar placement is not open to all. It is an acknowledgement of creative and professional standing. Our work has been featured in Marie Claire, Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, and Elle, and worn by public figures across Europe. You can explore our editorial archive on our Website and follow our ongoing work on Instagram at @studiokasai.
Where are KASAI garments made?
Every garment is made in our atelier in Bucharest, Romania. We do not outsource production to factories. Our team handles each piece from pattern to finish, which is why our batches are small, our timelines are honest, and our quality standard is consistent.
What materials does KASAI use?
We work predominantly with natural and premium-grade materials: Italian silks, virgin wool, Tencel denim, cupro, cotton, and viscose, sourced from suppliers and farms with decades or centuries of heritage in their craft. Where we use blended fabrics, this is indicated on the product page and care label. All garment linings are made from 100% natural fabric, ensuring breathability and skin comfort in every piece.
What does KASAI stand for?
A slow, conscious approach to dressing. We believe clothing should be considered, chosen deliberately, worn meaningfully, and kept for a long time. We create for women who are not chasing trends but building a wardrobe that reflects who they are.
Sizing and Fit
How do I find my size?
Our full size guide and international conversion table, covering EU, IT, FR, US, and UK sizing, is available on the Size Guide page of our Website. We recommend taking your measurements before ordering and comparing them directly to our size chart rather than relying on your usual size in another brand.
Do your garments run true to size?
It varies by style and silhouette. Each product page includes Fit Notes with specific guidance on how that particular garment fits, whether we suggest sizing up for a looser drape or sizing down for a closer fit. Please read these before selecting your size.
I am between two sizes. What should I do?
Check the Fit Notes on the product page first. If you are still unsure, contact us at contact@kasai-studio.com before placing your order. Our team is available to advise you based on your measurements and the specific garment you are considering.
What if my order does not fit when it arrives?
Contact us at contact@kasai-studio.com and we will guide you through the return process. We recommend choosing store credit for size-related returns, as it allows you to immediately place a new order in the correct size without waiting for a cash refund to process.
Orders and Production
What is the difference between an In-Stock item and a Made-to-Order item?
In-Stock items exist in our inventory and will be dispatched within 1 to 3 business days of your order confirmation. Made-to-Order items are produced specifically for you after your order is placed. Dispatch takes 10 to 15 business days. This is not a delay, it is the process. Your piece is being made. The product type and dispatch window are clearly stated on every product page.
Can the status of a product change between Made-to-Order and In-Stock?
Yes. When demand for a made-to-order style increases, we may produce a small stock run and make it available for faster dispatch. The product page will always reflect the current status and dispatch window at the time of your purchase.
Can I cancel or change my order after placing it?
For in-stock items, please contact us immediately at contact@kasai-studio.com, as we dispatch within 1 to 3 business days. For made-to-order items, cancellations are possible before production begins. Full details are in our Returns and Refund Policy, Section 9.
I placed an order and have not received a confirmation email. What should I do?
Check your spam or junk folder first. If nothing is there, contact us at contact@kasai-studio.com with the name and email address used at checkout.
