A heritage founded on craftsmanship and sustainability. A future focused on authenticity and innovati And so it began." - Helen Marie Kaminski, Founding Designer

THE HELEN KAMINSKI STORY | In 1983, our founder Helen Marie Kaminski handcrafted a raffia hat to protect her children from the searing Australian sun. Soon after, her distinctive design was coveted by small country boutiques, followed by the style set. "I left one of my hats at a shop in Manuka, Canberra; It sold before I got back home. The shop owner told me she could have sold five in an afternoon.

Our Story

In 1983 Helen Marie Kaminski handcrafted a raffia hat to protect her children from the searing Australian sun. One year later, a Vogue editor discovered her first design, the ‘Classic 5'. The rest is history. Decades have passed and now Helen’s effortless signature style has evolved into a leading global brand recognised for authentic luxury essentials in a growing range hats, bags and fashion accessories for the Helen Kaminski woman and the KAMINSKI man.

A long-term commitment to sustainable materials and practices, alongside a focus on conserving traditional handcraft techniques, ensures that each hat and bag retains a unique authenticity. In a time when sophisticated global consumers seek products that reflect individual values, personal style, and respect for the environment, the Helen Kaminski legacy is more relevant than ever.
