What to know about BITE
The name is a mission statement
BITE stands for "By Independent Thinkers for Environmental progress" — the tailoring was built around organic and recycled materials from the 2016 launch.
Sculptural cuts, Scandinavian restraint
The house line was tailoring-led womenswear: boxy blazers, silk shirting, wide trousers and slip dresses, minimal in colour but volume-driven in shape.
The label no longer exists
After years of losses and a 2025 pivot to e-commerce, BITE was declared bankrupt by Gothenburg District Court in May 2026, so anything you find is leftover stock or resale.

Brand facts
BITE Studios, short for "By Independent Thinkers for Environmental progress", was a Swedish label founded in 2016 by William Lundgren, Veronika Kant, designer Elliot Atkinson and Suzanne Elvi, run from Stockholm with a London design studio. Its tailoring-led womenswear paired Scandinavian minimalism with sculptural silhouettes — boxy blazers, silk shirting, wide trousers and slip dresses — in organic and recycled materials. Stocked at NK and SSENSE and worn by Hailey Bieber, it pivoted to e-commerce in 2025 after years of losses; Gothenburg District Court declared it bankrupt on 20 May 2026.
