True self expression means communicating where we have been and where we hope to go.

Story

Base Island was created by designer Logan Greenlee in his North Carolina studio. The brand was founded on his idea that travel and cultural awareness are the key to establishing healthy diverse communities. He used this ideology to design products that promoted global travel and self-expression for travelers.

His inaugural Base Island collection featured a set of handmade postcards that were printed using specialized wood blocks. Each print was made using four blocks, one for each color of ink. This proprietary printing process inspired the colored stripes and the print error motif used throughout his designs.

Logan’s later collections expanded the brand portfolio to include jewelry, apparel, and other lifestyle products. All of his designs are personally crafted in his studio using the highest quality materials. Each product is hand made in limited quantities and only available for a short period of time.
