deborah sams and mary lou ryan founded bassike (pronounced “basic”) in 2006 to create what they couldn’t find: high quality, sustainably sourced wardrobe essentials. they chose to work with organic cotton, australian makers and responsible business practices from the beginning.
bassike added denim in 2007 and mainline women’s and men’s seasonal collections in 2008, which span tailoring, outerwear, knitwear and fleece in contemporary silhouettes and natural fabrications. as the brand has evolved to include swimwear, footwear, accessories and a mini line, it has maintained the fundamentals of considered design, responsible business and sustainable manufacturing.
we live our values, which centre on respect for our community, respect for the local industry and respect for the planet. authentic clothes, honestly made.
