About me / About business or organisation:

My city, the city of Antwerp, abounds with talented people in fashion and textile design, both settled and upcoming. Meanwhile, the textile industry in the Flanders region around it struggles for its existence. I am determined be a positive force in this field. As an entrepreneur, as an engineer, as a creative person, as a women. Atelier BASMA, my digital textile printing atelier, will allow local designers to outwit and outrun the big players. I like to play midfield between the technical and the creative.

Career history / Company history:

BASMA is a digital textile printing atelier working in Antwerp. It is a one-person entreprise fostered by the Textile Incubation Center.

What can BASMA do for you?
- BASMA can print your designs on textile. In volumes between 1 and 1000 meter, maximum 1,60 meter wide. Either on one of our tissues, or on your own fabric; if it contains a certain amount of natural fibers such as cotton, linen, wool or silk, I can probably print on it.
- Together we can solve the technical problems that come between your design and a beautiful print.

Why BASMA?
BASMA is close to you. I am in your time-zone, maybe even in your neighborhood. We can meet in person. You can come to the atelier to touch, test and talk. We breathe the same air and we are likely to speak the same language.
Whether you are working for a well-established house, or you are still struggling to make your mark: that print is important for you, and I know it.
You want the next batch to look exactly the same as the first batch. I know that, too.
