What can I say... The quality is top notch. I spent a great deal browsing around for a Briefcase on Etsy untill i found Basäder. Communication was superb, and I got a customized carry-on strap easily added to the bag. Thank you so much for this briefcase.

lovely belt, veggie tanned , fast production, fast shipping, didn't fit my husband due to my sizing mistake, but beautiful enough to keep for myself. seller was willing to pay shipping back and offer an exchange, despite it being my fault. would definitely purchase again for quality leather goods for my family or someone elses. I purchased the copper option to get the healing benefits of copper. I will order another one for my husband later on

basader : Traditional meets Contemporary, from Stockholm to Brooklyn and now nested by a sea town in New England

Hi, we're Elin and Philip, a couple living in Barrington, RI, and owners of a small artisan bag company we call basader. Our brand was born in Brooklyn, NY, out of a love for enduring craftsmanship, and a passion for minimal aesthetics, basader is the culmination of our joint efforts and experience. Elin is the designer, maker, and driving force behind the basader name, while I enjoy communicating with our customers, organizing our collection, and growing our storefront.

Our initial entrance into the Etsy marketplace was a natural progression. Working as a knitwear designer at Ralph Lauren, Elin began experimenting with bag making in her free time. Using the highest-quality materials, traditional techniques, and contemporary design, the initial basader collection slowly unfolded before our eyes. Still, knowing we could never get our work to the right audience via traditional retail channels—which would have surely resulted in sizable price increases—Etsy, was an obvious choice. And it was! Within the first year on Etsy, Elin was able to leave her position at Ralph Lauren and pursue our small business dream fulltime, something we never imagined possible.

Living in Brooklyn for more than 10 years, Elin was born and raised in a small town in Sweden, and initially drawn to Greenpoint in pursuit of a fashion degree at FIT. Infatuated on impact with the raw Brooklyn landscape, the basader brand can best be described as Scandinavian minimalism coupled with a coarse Brooklyn aesthetic. And likewise, raised in a small New England town, yet heavily influenced by contemporary minimal art, we share a similar aesthetic that we try to imbue in all of our work.

More than anything, we strive to offer the best possible craftsmanship, quality, and design at an approachable price, and Etsy truly is an incomparable platform. The ease of dialogue with customers is but one priceless example, and we feel that within the past several months, our small idea has been broadcast to an overwhelming audience. basader is a mission to offer high-quality fashion at affordable prices. To know that our customers are purchasing a piece that can be passed down for generations is a rewarding experience, and we’re so grateful that Etsy is helping us realize this dream.
