Our story

ABOUT THE BRAND

Bana is our ode to American menswear—the kind of style that feels timeless, but with the confidence and energy of now. We take cues from the details that once defined heritage— collars with presence, generous leg shapes, silhouettes that command attention—and reimagine them with a modern cut.


Every garment is made in New York, crafted with fabrics sourced from Italy and Japan. We chose them not just for their quality, but for their innovation and sustainability. It’s this tension—heritage and progress, grit and refinement—that defines Bana New York.


For us, the brand is about more than clothing. It’s about capturing the feeling of where we came from and transforming it into something that belongs to the present moment—and the streets we walk today.

OUR HISTORY

We are inspired by old photos of our families. We want to capture the nostalgic feeling we get when we are back home in this brand we are building. Capturing the reminiscent aura of home, our brand is born from the nostalgia found in old family pictures.
