TESTAMONIAL: As the manager of a number of superstar entertainers and the organizer of several historic humanitarian events ("We Are The World," "Hands Across America," the 1992 Presidential Inauguration, etc.) I have worked with Mary Bassel for nearly four decades. I have always been totally delighted and satisfied with her work.
Since the mid-1970's Mary has provided me, my clients including Lionel Richie, Kenny Rogers, Trisha Yearwood, etc. and my many projects with gorgeous garments, eye-catching accessories and other unique wearables.
Over all these years Mary has given us excellent service, reasonable prices and dependable, quick turnaround. I couldn't possibly give a higher endorsement to Mary Bassel. She has always met my high expectations with the finest quality workmanship.
