Bode is an American clothing company that makes clothing from old textiles and newly-made traditional textiles, founded in 2016 by Emily Adams Bode Aujla.[1][2][3][4]

History

In 2016, the brand was formally launched with a collection of garments composed entirely of antique textiles for the purpose of storytelling and preservation in American menswear.[5][6][7]

The company opened its first retail store in 2019.[8][9]

The Bode brand is known for its use of historical techniques in modern fashion, such as using quilting, mending, patchwork, sashiko, boro, and appliqué.[1][10]

Emily Adams Bode was the first female designer to show at New York Fashion Week: Men's, the dedicated menswear shows at the event.[11][12]

In 2023, Bode launched its first womenswear line.[13] The brand has office space in 161 Water Street.[14]
