about us, in the words of designer Kornelia Rataj
My adventure with fashion started very early on. From a very young age, I watched my mother sewing clothes on her home machine. I have pursued the passion for creating garments rooted in my childhood throughout my life. In 2017, I graduated from the International School of Costume and Fashion Design, majoring in Fashion Design.
While still in school in 2016, I fulfilled my biggest dream - I founded my company called KORNELIARATAJ. The brand was born out of a lifelong dream to create, out of a huge desire to create beauty for women, a reflection of my sense of form, style and aesthetics.
This is how the first products of our brand were created in a 10 m2 room in my parents' flat, sewn entirely by my mother.
In 2018, we moved the studio to 40m2, where our warehouse was located, where I designed and prototypes were created, and our collections were then created in an external friendly sewing room in Legnica.
In 2023, we moved the atelier to a rural paradise in Czernica near Jelenia Góra that we had found a few years earlier, while fulfilling the dream of my immediate family, who have been an integral part of the brand since the beginning. After a huge renovation of the old barn, we started working in a nearly 300m2 studio and consequently opened our own sewing room.
From mid-2023 onwards, we produce all products from the swimwear and linen collections in our family workshop in Czernica.
The new space, which is a dream come true for me, has given us the opportunity to expand our small team. Truly wonderful people have come our way, for which I am immensely grateful every day.
I thank them for their commitment to our development, to our daily work, to new projects. Each of them is currently an integral part of what you can observe, order, touch, use. This product, this quality, is the consequence of the passion and love we put into our work together at every stage.
Made with care, just for you
