THE BASICS (Our Business)
Basic Elements combines the resources of a global corporation with personal attention. We provide superior end-to-end solutions in fashion and apparel production that supply our clients with the best-quality products in the most efficient manner—increasing profitability, while mitigating the risks associated with the rapidly evolving global economy.

In the fashion apparel industry since 1978 and headquartered in California, Basic Elements currently occupies a combination of over 100,000 square feet of warehouse and office space. With a staff of experts fluent in multiple languages, we are uniquely qualified to take advantage of a host of global resources, while still maintaining quality control both locally and abroad.

We are able to service every client need from the initial concept to final product delivery:
  • Product design and development
  • Raw material sourcing
  • Factory sourcing
  • Production planning
  • Logistics management
  • Quality assurance
  • Import and export certification/documentation
  • Shipping consolidation


  • The integration of these services creates our value chain, vertically incorporating everything from creation to completion, providing our customer with the best possible product at the best possible price.

    We are dedicated to providing the finest products with attention to our social responsibility in the global community. We conduct quarterly Homeland Security audits and are C-TPAT (The United States Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) compliant. We also conduct strict monthly human rights audits with every factory we work with.

    We are committed to giving our customers the best value for their money, and peace of mind, knowing that their needs are being met in the most efficient and responsible way. We understand the demands placed on today's businesses to find better, more efficient, more competitive methods of production in a changing global economy and we are able to provide the freedom for our customers to focus on their business by providing the infrastructure and services crucial to their success.

    Through our Value Proposition, we will continue to exceed expectations with superior quality, creative solutions, and maximum value.

    The world's complicated. We make it Basic.
