Basil's 2022 Collection: (re-)inventing icons
- Posted on
For its 2022 collection, Basil introduces a collection of old and new classic designs. Classics stand the test of time in terms of design, function, and durability. They become essential parts of our lives, the basic elements that we depend on day in and day out for years.This collection is the result of a combination of introspection and innovation at Basil. We’ve taken some of our essential iconic designs and updated their sustainability, visibility, and waterproof qualities. The result is a reimagined set of classics that will continue to spread the cycling joy.
At Basil, we keep sustainable front of mind as we design and produce products for cyclists who are committed to reducing their carbon footprint through their actions and their decisions. We share this urgency and constantly work to find and use sustainable production methods and materials.
This year, we introduce the Basil Bloom Field series, made using recycled PET bottles and featuring hand painted flowers. The new Basil Skane HiVis line and the updated Basil Kavan Eco Classic Double Pannier Bags feature a Bionic Finish® Eco with extraordinary protective properties. One of the key contributions we make to sustainability is extending the life of our products. We’re backing up this commitment this year by introducing a unique 10-year warranty on our updated Basil Kavan Eco Classic double pannier bags.
Please join us this year to celebrate the old and new icons in the Basil Collection. We have a feeling you’re going to be happy to see them for years to come.
