Armand Basi is a Spanish brand with roots in Barcelona. Wikipedia traces it to a knitting business set up in 1948 by Armand Basi and his brother Josep, inspired by their mother’s knitted sweaters.
From knitwear to a fashion label
The business grew into a large textiles company, with a factory on Balcells Street in Barcelona from 1958. In the early 1960s the family signed an exclusive deal to make and distribute Lacoste products in Spain. Armand launched the eponymous fashion brand in 1986.
Range and later years
The label has covered clothing, accessories, perfume, jewellery and watches, with a footwear line added in 2005. Lluís Juste de Nin became creative director in 2000, and Armand Basi died in January 2009. Wikipedia is a general reference, so check details with the brand if you need them confirmed.
