Our Legacy | KYM
KYM House

A history worth keeping.

From a heritage building in Birmingham to boutiques in the world's fashion capitals — a story of authenticity, craftsmanship and sustainable luxury, written one year at a time.

Our Story

"Continuing the legacy of over twelve decades of unparalleled excellence."

Every chapter of our history reflects a single commitment: to make luxury more meaningful — through provenance, craft and care. From our origins in a Birmingham landmark to a global destination for authenticated pre-owned luxury, this is how we got here.

A Birmingham landmark.

Our story begins in 1899, in a distinguished heritage building at 85–87 Cornwall Street, Birmingham — now protected as a city landmark by Birmingham City Council.

This historically significant structure represents our enduring foundation. More than a century on, it remains the home of our operations — its character intact, its purpose evolved.

Joining the RM365 Group.

KYM, as part of the RM365 Group, took its strategic step into the luxury aesthetics industry — guided by the values of authenticity, innovation and commitment that still define us today.

Expansion to Albany House marked a deliberate move into the luxury market, reflecting our dedication to transparency, integrity and excellence in everything we touch.

Flight towards the future.

The "Sustainable Fashion Revolution" of 2017 placed ethical sourcing and environmental responsibility at the centre of the industry — aligning perfectly with values we already held.

Committed to eco-conscious practice, our founder began travelling globally — from the UK and France to Italy and the USA — sourcing premium suppliers and partners who shared our standards, and our intent.

Paris, on Galeries Lafayette.

We proudly opened our first physical boutique near Galeries Lafayette, Paris — bringing our vision of sustainable luxury to the heart of one of the world's most renowned fashion capitals.

The location was no accident. It reflected our commitment to excellence: a place where sophistication and sustainability converge, at the very birthplace of legendary fashion houses.

Growing through roots and strong branches.

As part of our expansion into international markets, we remarketed and rebranded as KYM — a name that symbolises "gold" in traditional mythology.

The transformation underscores our commitment to delivering a premium, timeless experience on a global scale — a blend of luxury, sustainability and elegance that honours both our origins and the future we're building.

"KYM — meaning gold — is more than a name. It is a promise to deliver what endures."
