House of Bashka is a luxury fashion and travel destination, championing and dressing an adventurous lifestyle.
NAMED: After BASHKA, the fashion boutique founded by Babara Villiers (Founder & Editor At Large Rosalyn Wikeley’s Great Grandmother) in the 1920’s opposite Claridge’s on Brook Street.
WEBSITE: Includes fashion edits, city guides and luxury reviews, as well as insightful interviews with key industry figures. A weekly dose with our newsletter
MEMBERS: House of Bashka’s members’ club forms both an online and offline community for stylish, influential young professionals who are still forming their brand affinities and seeking to network around both travel and style.
EVENTS: Through our events, we endeavour to create a sophisticated, relaxed environment in which to introduce members to luxury brands or travel concepts. Not only do we authentically raise these brands’ profiles amongst their target market, we offer premium networking opportunities at impressive venues across the UK.
PHILOSOPHY: in an era of ‘collecting’ likes or followers, we often lose sight of ‘connecting’ with brands/destinations/people and overall substance! Thus, while we value the importance of online communities for engaging with luxury fashion and travel, we prioritise the conventional social setting and unprecedented power of ‘word-of-mouth marketing’ (with champagne).
