BASIL 23/24 NEW ZEALAND CATALOGUE: OUT NOW!

It all started in 1976 with a bicycle shop and a customer (Ine van Dam) wanting a wicker basket, Nico van Balveren (Former Owner) rose to the challenge and developed a custom made basket, meeting all Ine’s wishes he made the most important discovery, because of that basket she enjoyed her bike rides even more!

The word ‘Basil’ is a contraction of ‘van BAlveren’ and ‘SILvolde’ (Silvolde is the original location). Since 2001 the com- pany is owned by Marthijn van Balveren, son of Nico. In addition to the traditional bicycle baskets, Basil also has a large number of panniers and animal baskets on the market.
