Known
for her intricate embellished designs, Carrie Basham creates
fashion forward, feminine, and slenderizing leather apparel
which is also functional for riding. Her desire is to fill
the void for women motorcycle enthusiasts looking for leather
to ride in without loosing her natural femininity with fitted,
distinctive styles.
She designs
for clients that appreciate her attention to detail, use of
the finest raw materials and focus on fit. When asked what her
passion is she stated ,"I'm inspired to make a woman feel like she is slipping into a second skin. I also feel a genuine passion to make these designs in the U.S.A. I've manufactured all over the world and after 911 I was dedicated to setting up factories in Texas and California.
My styles
have a look, a personality, a feel, an attitude... they almost
take on a life of their own, but most importantly, they empower
her to feel beautiful, sexy and confident, yet protected on
the road. My leathers are soft as buttah (butter) but road rash
safe!"
Carrie's leather designs have been featured in several publications including Thunder Press, Bikes & Spikes, VQ, Asphalt Angels, and Woman Rider. Media exposure also includes a special segment on Good Morning Arizona and wardrobe for hosts on Entertainment Tonight.
