History

At its inception, Bode introduced a collection exclusively utilizing antique textiles, carving out a distinctive niche within American menswear by merging time-honored craftsmanship with contemporary style. The brand inaugurated its first retail location in 2019, marking a significant step in expanding its brick-and-mortar footprint.

Bode has become renowned for incorporating age-old techniques such as quilting, mending, patchwork, sashiko, boro, and appliqué into modern garments, setting it apart in the fashion sector. Emily Adams Bode earned recognition as the pioneering female designer to showcase at New York Fashion Week: Men's.

In 2023, the label ventured into womenswear with the release of its debut collection. Its corporate offices are situated at 161 Water Street in New York City.
