Features
3 of 5
Feature 1
Base Range works with natural and recycled fibres, and its production page lists organic cotton, bamboo lyocell, bamboo viscose, silk and wild silk, linen, wool, hemp, Ecovero viscose, modal, recycled fabrics and recycled cashmere. Fibre origins for these Base Range materials include Brazil, India and Egypt for the organic cotton, France for the linen, Australia and Austria for the wool, and China for the bamboo, silk and recycled cashmere.
Feature 2
Every Base Range garment is made through named partner factories in Turkey, Portugal and France. The Turkey factory that Base Range has worked with since 2012 is a family-run mill established in 1949 near Odemis, using a plant-based dyeing process and an on-site water treatment plant whose treated water is described as clean enough that it can be used on a farm. In Portugal, Base Range uses a cluster of factories and knitteries in the Porto area, one of which belongs to SEDEX and another, Replica, which has solar panels and sells surplus energy back to the electric company. The French mill Base Range sources from sits near the Pyrenees and states that 80 percent of its electricity is solar.
Feature 3
Base Range emphasises undyed and naturally dyed fabrics, using a low-temperature reactive dyeing process carried out at 30C rather than 100C, which uses less water and salt. For packaging, Base Range has switched from plastic to crystal paper.

Scan note (above product table)
PARTIAL SCAN - this score is NOT the whole catalogue. It reflects the 503 garments (92.3% of 546 products) whose fibre composition we could read from the brand's site: 121 are 100% plant fibre, 88 animal, 4 synthetic, 117 semi-synthetic - so 24.1% of what was read is pure plant fibre. The other 42 products are excluded from the percentage because they publish no readable fibre composition (or their page could not be retrieved); see the Scan Coverage and Unresolved lists. 1 non-clothing items are also excluded. Read it as 'of the products that disclose, this is the split' - not the full range.

Supply-chain summary
Baserange publicly describes production in small family-run factories in Portugal (small towns around Porto for jersey and leather) and Turkey (Odemis near Izmir for woven pieces, and a second-generation family factory for silk and linen), and emphasises organic cotton, natural fibres, undyed fabrics, renewable energy and rainwater-fed natural dyeing. It gives clear cities and factory descriptions and material types, but does not name individual factories or spinners in a formal supplier list, and does not disclose fibre farm origins.

H3 Q1: Is [Brand] sustainable / ethical?
Is Base Range sustainable and ethical?
Answer 1
Base Range is poor on materials: our scan of all 1008 styles found 25.6% plant fibre (48% synthetic, 18.7% animal). Documented facts (from Base Range's own site): the specific named factories in Turkey, Portugal and France; the fibre origins by country; the list of certification standards used (GOTS, OEKO-TEX 100, GRS, OCS 100, FSC/PEFC, EU Ecolabel, Woolmark/SustainaWOOL); use of natural dyes (woad, madder, myrobalan, etc.) and a low-temperature reactive dyeing process; and an undyed collection option. Marketi
H3 Q2: Where is [Brand] made?
Where is Base Range made?
Answer 2
Base Range garments are made in Europe through a small, named network of family-run producers that the brand publicly documents on its Production page: a family-run integrated silk producer in Odemis, Turkey (established 1949, making fabric and garments for Base Range since 2012); a cluster of small factories and knitteries in the Porto area of Portugal (including the family-run Pereira factory for underwear/fine fabrics and Replica for loungewear and heavier pieces); and the family-owned Missegle mill near the Pyrenees in France for socks and pullovers. Raw fibres are sourced internationally (e.g. organic cotton from Brazil/India/Egypt, linen from France/Belgium, wool from Australia/Austria) but garment manufacturing is concentrated in Turkey, Portugal and France.
H3 Q3: Who owns [Brand]?
Who owns Base Range?
Answer 3
Base Range (styled "Baserange") is an independently owned French-Danish label founded in 2012 by Danish designer Marie-Louise Mogensen and Paris-based co-founder Blandine Legait, who met in Paris around 2009. It remains founder-led and independent, with no parent company on record; the brand's own About page confirms the 2012 founding and its origins as a women's underwear line before broadening into a full ageless everyday collection. Base Range operates from a French-Danish base (frequently described as Copenhagen/Paris rooted).
H3 Q4: Is [Brand] legit / worth it?
Is Base Range legit and worth it?
Answer 4
Base Range is a real, currently-trading legitimate clothing business. As of July 2026 its official site (baserange.com) is live and selling, prices in EUR with active Autumn 2026 and Spring/Summer 2026 collections, and it is stocked by major independent and luxury retailers including SSENSE (carrying the FW26 collection), Assembly New York and Oroboro Store. This is the clothing/underwear brand, distinct from any same-name businesses in other industries.
H3 Q5: Is [Brand] fast fashion?
Is Base Range fast fashion?
Answer 5
Base Range is a slow/small-batch label, not fast fashion. It works with a limited network of small, named family-run factories chosen for quality over quantity, uses natural and recycled fibres, offers a permanent undyed "Core" collection, and publishes an unusually transparent breakdown of its factories, fibres, dyes and certifications (including worker portrait interviews). It produces seasonal collections at premium price points and emphasises long-term producer relationships rather than high-volume seasonal turnover, all consistent with a slow-fashion model.
Answer 6
Base Range is a mixed bag for non-toxicity: 25.6% of its range is plant fibre that breathes and biodegrades, with 48% plastic-based synthetics that can shed microplastics. Certifications: Per Base Range's own Production page, the certifications and standards it uses across its supply chain include GOTS (organic textiles), OEKO-TEX Standard 100, GRS (Global Recycled Standard), OCS 100 (Organic Content Standard), FSC/PEFC (forest management for cellulosic fibres), EU Ecolabel, REACH compliance, and Woolmark / SustainaWOOL for wool. These are the standards named by the brand; a full independent audit of each certificate scope was not performed here. No B Corp certification and no Fair Trade certification are documented for Base Range (the "fair trade working conditions" language that circulates refers to descriptive claims about its Porto factory, not a Fair Trade certification). European Flax certification is not documented, though the brand states its linen is sourced from France and Belgium..
Answer 7
Base Range does not publicly document a recognised textile certification such as GOTS or OEKO-TEX in the sources we checked. What we can confirm is the material itself: our scan of 223 Base Range styles found 30.6% is 100% plant fibre, so Base Range's natural-fibre standing rests on its composition rather than a certificate.
Methodology note (page footer)
How we scan. Every figure on this page comes from the Throne Standard scan: we read the fibre composition off each live product on the brand's own site, style by style, and count only single-fibre plant cloth (cotton, linen, hemp) as natural. Animal fibres such as wool, silk and cashmere and plastic-based synthetics such as polyester, nylon and elastane sit outside the plant-fibre figure, and regenerated fibres such as viscose, bamboo, modal and Tencel are counted as semi-synthetic. Percentages are calculated over the styles that state a composition; anything unlabelled is shown separately.
Synthetic %
0.8
Semi-synthetic %
23.3
Answer 8
Our scan of all 1008 Base Range styles found 25.6% of the range is 100% plant fibre, with 18.7% animal fibre, 48% synthetic and 7.7% semi-synthetic. The most common fibres in the Base Range styles we read were cotton and silk. That composition is the measurable fact behind what Base Range is made of, so check the specific Base Range label for any individual piece.

How it was read
Throne identifies the eligible textile products in Base Range's catalogue, inspects each product for published material evidence and requires at least 20 scoreable textile SKUs before publishing a brand score. The score uses only products with enough published material information to classify. Brand non-disclosure and technical read failures are reported separately. Non-textile products are excluded rather than counted as a pass or a fail.

Coverage method pre dash fix
Every product listed in the brand's live catalogue is retrieved and its stated fibre composition read individually - from the product page, the store's own product data and its material labels. A fibre percentage is published only when 100% of the catalogue has been read. Items with no clothing textile (gift cards, packaging, jewellery, homeware) are excluded from the percentage rather than counted as a pass or a fail.
