BB SPOKE · WEARABLE LUXURY WITH A SOUL

The Story of BB SPOKE & Brian Babylon

BB SPOKE started with one simple problem: comedian and creator Brian Babylon couldn’t find clothes that hit the way his life felt — sharp, global, funny, and real.

And Brian wasn’t interested in joining the overpriced, lazy fashion machine. He wanted to challenge it. So he built BB SPOKE: small batch, custom cut, no sweatshop shortcuts. Just real craft and a little chaos.

What Makes BB SPOKE Different

A Direct Challenge Brian Babylon built BB SPOKE specifically to push back against the current fashion industry — the overpriced laziness, the copy-paste designs, the fake “luxury” made in the same factories as everyone else. BB SPOKE is his protest, his alternative, his upgrade.
Custom Cut Every piece is shaped with real bodies in mind, not just runway samples. Coats, hoodies, and sets are fit for height, size, and how you actually move through the world.
Low Batch Small runs. Often 25–50 pieces only. When you see a BB SPOKE coat in the wild, you’re not going to see ten more walking behind it.
Real Materials Japanese denim, serious leather, quilted floral linings, buffalo-nickel buttons, custom patches. Pieces are built to be worn, traveled in, and lived in.
Ethical Mindset The brand pushes back on “luxury” that’s made in the same sweatshop as everything else. BB SPOKE focuses on fair production, real relationships with makers, and honest pricing.
