Ba&sh
The French brand Ba&sh is a relatively new brand within the affordable luxury space that is more focused on “rock n roll”, not in the sense that you’re thinking, but in a luxury and bohemian way, in some strange combination.
The founders, Barbara Boccara and Sharon Krief, states that they wanted to create a brand for women like themselves, real women. Not in the sense of making a statement about what a real woman is, but rather to eliminate all the things that bothered the founders with the available alternatives. That could be some itchy part of the item, shapes that aren’t fitting properly, and so on.
Lately, the brand has been recognized by the large player, they even got LVMH to invest in the company.
Faithfull The Brand
The Australian-Balinese brand Faithfull The Brand has been on the radar throughout this summer, and no wonder though! They are offering beautiful pieces with floral prints. Influencers have gathered around the brand as it’s not only great quality and affordable luxury, but also social media-friendly with all of its colors and prints.
The Duchess of Cambridge helped the brand somewhat on the way as well. In June last year, the Duchess showed up in one of Faithfull The Brand’s dresses on social media.
The brand itself is based in Bali and each piece is dyed by hand, manufactured sustainable and made by local artisans.
