Bassike Clothing- Men’s & Women’s FashionBassike Fashion Label – Mens & Womens ClothingIt seems that Australian street fashion label Ksubi (formally known as Tsubi) are popping out siblings every year. Bassike was formed in 2006 by two former Ksubi employees, Deborah Sams and Mary Lou Ryan (pictured below). Bassike features both mens and womens clothing collections (Click here to see some of the Bassike Clothing Collections)
The logic behind their label Bassike seems simple enough – to create organic basics within Australia. Apparently their label was formed out of frustration from not being able to find quality luxurious basics without forking out an arm and a leg for some overseas designer. In essence, it seem Bassike is Australia’s answer to American Apparel, the ‘downtown LA’ ethically made label/icon, culture that has taken over the world. And how has Bassike faired you ask? Well in its short history, the label is now stocked in over 30 boutique stores throughout Australia and New Zealand, as well as offering their products to the online community. In 2006, the products available from Bassike were cotton basics. Fast forward to today and Bassike is also offering denim and wool options in a wider variety of cuts and colours – all of which are organic in material, as well as made and designed with love in Australia. The label is anticipated to expand within the US, UK and Scandinavian markets in the near future so watch this space. |
