Hansel from Basel was founded by Los Angeles-based artist-turned-designer Hannah Byun in 2007, as a way to apply a sense of much-needed zest to everyday legwear.

Originally inspired by Hannah’s childhood nickname (“Hansel”) and her fascination with Switzerland (therefore “from Basel”), the collection is forever and always finding inspiration in every nook and cranny of life, from the mundane to the magical. 

A great deal of attention, care and most of all, pride, make our spirited socks, tights and accessories not only feel so very special, but encourage us to always continue evolving.

They are a small independent company, women-owned and operated.
