B·COME studio

BCOME is an in­de­pen­dent de­sign stu­dio that spe­cialises in sus­tain­able fash­ion and is also an agency for tex­tile sup­pli­ers. Based in Barcelona, the small friendly firm is all about eth­i­cal fash­ion and says it has a com­mit­ment to help­ing clean up the image of the fash­ion in­dus­try and to be­come an agent of change in its role as a gate­way be­tween India and Eu­rope.

The stu­dio works with a range of dif­fer­ent clients, from the in­di­vid­ual crafts­man spe­cial­is­ing in em­broi­dery to large-scale pro­duc­ers of or­ganic cot­ton pro­vid­ing large quan­ti­ties of fab­ric for the sus­tain­able clothes lines of in­dus­try gi­ants like Patag­o­nia, In­di­tex and C&A.

Only a few months old, B·COME has al­ready es­tab­lished its cre­den­tials as a go-be­tween with the local clothes in­dus­try and India, and it is cur­rently work­ing with Zara as the fash­ion chain be­gins to in­tro­duce al­ter­na­tive fab­rics into its clothes ranges.

1-Cac­tuses: Just about the first ten­ants of the stu­dio, be­fore there were even any chairs! Our weak­ness for the lit­tle de­tails some­times means that our pri­or­i­ties are less than usual. But we love them and they have be­come some­thing of a tal­is­man for us!

2- Clothes rack: This sim­ple piece of equip­ment has the im­por­tant role of keep­ing all the var­i­ous trea­sures we bring back from our trips to India.

3- Mini flow­ers: This was a gift and serves to re­mind us of our val­ues as a com­pany, which has also grown from a small seed of hope and en­thu­si­asm.

4- Cork board: It may only have taken a few min­utes to put up, but this sim­ple board has be­come es­sen­tial for our daily work. It is our zone for in­spi­ra­tion and the place we come to­gether to re­flect on what we are doing.

5- Mir­ror: A con­fes­sion. There is some­thing about this mir­ror that when we try on the sam­ples we re­ceive it some­how makes them look bet­ter on us than they would at home.

6- Lamp: You can't have a de­sign stu­dio with­out plenty of light. We be­lieve that each light source cre­ates its own par­tic­u­lar work­ing space in the stu­dio.

7- Hand lug­gage suit­case: Back­wards and for­wards, in this busi­ness you never stop trav­el­ling week in, week out.

8 - White stor­age draw­ers: Men­tion­ing no names, one of us is par­tic­u­larly fussy and these draw­ers have proved the ideal way of keep­ing the work area clean and tidy.

9- Lap­top com­puter: We couldn't live with­out it: a con­stant com­pan­ion, the es­sen­tial tool for work, com­mu­ni­ca­tion and stor­age; the portable is every­thing to us.

10- In­dian book: This is a pro­to­type from our first ever client, who first trusted in B·COME to de­velop a clothes col­lec­tion and change their way of pre­sent­ing their fab­ric sam­ples.
