Freeport, Bahamas - Award winning Grand Bahamian fashion designer, Basheva Eve recently opened her boutique in the main arcade of the International Bazaar in downtown Freeport.  La Maison de Besh is the exclusive carrier of Harl Taylor BAG for Grand Bahama.

Besh designs were featured this year on the Miss Universe Pageant contestants.

If you can dream it, Besh can make it. If you have a special occasion, La Maison de Besh may have exactly what you've are looking for, but if not, they can create an exclusive piece just for you!

In describing her design-style for her pieces for the big show she said, “I believe our lifestyle in The Bahamas is one of ‘resort’, it is laid back yet clean, elegant, sophisticated, unique and classic. This is what I wanted to present to the world.”

Her outfits for the show featured hand batiked fabrics and plaited straw pieces. “The fabrics were wonderful because they were all organic to begin with and created right here in the Bahamas by Androsia and Bahama Hand Print.   The straw used to create the bustiers is from our islands.  Since these fabrics were created here in the Bahamas they have a flavor that could only be found in these islands, they are born from the currant of our culture.  The colours used were taken from everyday life in the islands. I highlight the fabrics by accentuating with items such as iridescent paint, crochet roses, and Braided Bahamian Palm Leaf.   I am an island girl and I took the colours from nature around me, colours I love that caress the eyes and are appealing on the complexion.”

With representation in Nassau and Freeport, Besh creates truly unique garments and accessories for men and women, under the label La Bonne Vie Bahamas. Her philosophy is to design and manufacture clothes that inspire people to enjoy the magnificence of their inner beauty while transforming their image to an elegant, engaging one; and to create brands of style and enduring sophistication, while promoting respect for positive social and environmental issues .

Besh has designed for some of the Bahamas’ most influential people. Among the many she has designed bridal ensembles for the daughter of the Prime Minister of The Bahamas, many National and International Beauty Queens such as prospective Miss World and Miss Universe.

“I design clothes that work for the individual; to me this is a must!  It’s about the personal relationship I have with you, my client, getting to know who you really are, that when you wear one of my garments it makes you feel you are absolutely “The Most Beautiful Person in the Whole World.”
