More about Basil...
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 company 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. Characteristic of Basil’s bicycle accessories are the excellent price-quality ratio and the diversity in design.
