Not Your Average Summer Sale — And That’s the Point

|

Time to Read: 2 min

Hey, Amanda here — I’ve just got back from visiting our factory in Turkey, and I think it might actually be hotter here in the UK? The kind of heat where you start considering if clothes are truly necessary at all? (joking ofc, I still recommend them — but only the breathable kind.)


This Sunday at 7pm , our Summer Sale is going live. But before you get click-happy, I wanted to share a little of the why behind it.


We know sales can be a slippery slope — encouraging overconsumption, impulse buys, and a flurry of returns. That’s not our vibe. We’re sharing this early so you can plan, think, reflect. That way, if something in the sale makes sense for you, you can shop with intention, not panic.

Real talk 👀

Being super be honest: we still have some stock left over from before our rebrand (Pantee days). We’re talking long sleeve bodysuits, sweatsuits, and colours like Oat and Sage Grey — pieces we still believe in, but maybe ordered a little too much of.


These styles are made with the same soft organic cotton, but carry our old branding. They haven’t flown quite as fast as our newer Not Basics styles, but we’re proud of them and would rather see them worn and loved than sitting in storage. That’s why we’re offering them at their lowest prices yet.

But Wait, Why Are Some Styles Not in the Sale?

Because we’re finally seeing the other side of our stock learning curve. Our newer Not Basics styles have been flying — and truthfully, we didn’t order enough (a good problem to have).


You’ll notice styles like our Wrap Leggings, Burnt Olive and Outer Space aren’t included — we’re already running low and want to avoid selling out before we can restock.

One More Thing We’d Genuinely Love Your Thoughts On:

Our sweatsuits didn’t move quite like they did last year (AW24). We had high hopes for Grey Marl — it’s a classic — but it’s been slower than expected.


So we’re rethinking our sweats this year. Are they still a year-round staple for you? Do you prefer hoodies or wid leg sweatpants? Is there a style of sweatsuit you'd prefer? 


Let us know in the comments or drop us a DM — your insight really helps us shape what we do next.

Don't forget about your early access!

Thanks for sticking with us through all the seasons and shifts. And thank you for shopping in a way that feels right for you — it means everything.

All my love,

Please do longer length in the leggings and sweats for us tall girls – I love them but they are just too short for me. Id particularly like a High waist, wide leg long sweat pant. I would love a bodysuit but they are also too short for me so i have to just stick with sweat shirts for now (which i love!)

Sarah Dillon

Love the sweat suits, they’re really great, and I think they need sweat shorts in the same colours to make them summer wearable!

Elinor

I absolutely love your sweat sets, I have them in a few colours! Really surprised the grey didn’t sell out as it’s lovely.

Would love wide leg sweat pants for winter though!

Emma

I love the original sweatsuits – I have three, in different colours and live in them, they are my comfort blanket!

Cate

I genuinely love how open and honest you are as a brand. It feels like you genuinely care about your customers in a way that big faceless companies do. I am a loyal supporter of Pantee and now Not Basics and will continue to be so! Thank you for your brand. We absolutely love it! Keep up the good work! :)
