By Basics (formerly known as Blusbar) is a Danish brand providing a stylish made-on-demand collection. This means that each peace is only made when ordered, which ensures that the clothes are wanted and won't be wasted. All designs are made from high-quality natural materials and available in multiple beautiful colors. The fabric is knitted and the designs are made in Denmark, and the main material is Oeko-tex certified merino wool.
Merino wool comes from New Zealand and Australian merino sheep, which are known for the finest, softest wool. To achieve the fine finish and ensure the longevity of each piece of clothing, the fabric is cut by hand and processed so that it can be machine washed and actually tumble dried. But since wool has antibacterial and
self-cleaning properties, it is not necessary to wash it so often. It is better to hang it out to air unless it is very dirty.
The Oeko-Tex label
Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 is a certification that guarantees that textile products do not contain harmful chemicals or substances that may pose a risk to human health. The products are tested for a wide range of chemicals, including pesticides, heavy metals and formaldehyde, based on strict limit values. The label covers the entire product, including zippers, buttons and sewing threads. Contrary to what the name suggests, Oeko-Tex labeled clothing is not necessarily 'eco' in the organic sense.
