BASIC. is a slow fashion shop based in birmingham, alabama.
with an ethos centered around people and the planet, we stock only ethically-made apparel and lifestyle goods for folks who care about where their stuff comes from. many of our brands own their production outright, while others craft their pieces themselves and/or in partnership with skilled artisans around the world. regardless, everything in our shop was made in dignified environments by individuals paid a living wage.
our models are our family and friends, and we don’t retouch or edit our photos to change bodies or appearance because why would we? every once in a while, we will have to color correct a product to make sure it is accurately portrayed; and occasionally we use our brands’ images if we haven’t had time to take our own.
in honor of humans everywhere, basic. donates 5% of our profits to groups fighting for human rights. we also frequently partner with other organizations working to create a more just and equitable society.
