Brand intelligence
Bode
BODE is the American luxury brand founded in 2016 by Emily Adams Bode Aujla. Its collections use antique and historic textiles, quilting, mending, embroidery and tailored construction to tell specific stories about American material culture, memory and place. Bode began as menswear and has expanded into a broader wardrobe and home-oriented universe while retaining a close relationship to craft and textile conservation. Adams Bode Aujla remains Founder and Creative Director. The page preserves this founder-led mandate and treats the label’s awards, press coverage, retail expansion and cultural collaborations as context, not proof of unreported revenue, ownership stakes or valuation.
