I have been asked to put a "basque" design and name onto a bag and have no idea what would work.
Any ideas? I would prefer freebies if possible as I am not charging for this and am already providing the fabric etc.
Thanks for all your help!

Either sexy underwear or people from a certain region of France and Spain. It could be useful to know which is asked for!

Sue has said it all. How about the underwear on one side of the bag and the Basque country on the other then you are sure to be right

A region in Spain I believe that's Portuguese... my Uncle is from there.

Other (north east) side of Spain, it's a region partly in France, partly in Spain.
I know the language is similar to Italian... because my GM used to converse with him. ??? That's the extent of my knowledge. hehe
La langue BASQUE (Eskuara) n'a rien à voir avec de l'italien. Ses origines proviennent des vikings. La province est située sur la chaîne des Pyrénées au Nord de l'Espagne et le Sud Ouest de la France en bordure de l'Atlantique. Les principales villes sont BAYONNE, BIARRITZ, SAINT JEAN DE LUZ Le rouge et le vert sont la couleur des volets des maisons que l'on retrouve sur le drapeau , sur le béret et la ceinture des hommes et la jupe des femmes traditionnellement , les autres vêtements étant de couleur blanche (pantalon, chemises, blouses des femmes). Souvent on trouve sur des serviettes une croix basque, croix typique que vous pourrez trouver en .pes gratuit sur le site de la cocotte à carreau. Le terme pays basque vient de BISCAYE.
Une basque en couture vient du mot italien "basta" qui signifie troussis. Il s'agit de la partie rapportée d'une veste (comme un volant sans fronces taillé dans le biais) qui part de la taille et descend plus ou moins sur les hanches. On trouve beaucoup de modèles de tailleur jupe dont les vestes comportent une basque dans les années 1950.

ooo I was thinking something different: to enjoy greatly and/or to soak up warmth.
So I went and googled both "basque" and "bask". Turns out my definition goes with "bask" but as far as I can figure they are both pronounced the same? I guess I'm not really helping, since if it were me I'd go and ask my friend to spell which one they meant lol.

Got a compkete different idea-if I remember in years gone by "basque" was a section of a skirt between waist & hip - fitted with the next section hip down either pleated or gathered?

Correct! I have made skirts like that because it is more comfotable than a waist band.
Just thought - was a basque also not a type of waspie - almost like a kidney belt some 8-10 inches wide to pull in your waist boned to keep you in shape that was very 1950s

This was interesting to read all these answers!! I never heard of this expression.

I am afraid I am with Elizabeth - when I did sewing at school a basque was an attachment to a skirt (like a lowered waistband!!)
I loved all the other answers too especially "Fleabag s" - I just got this mental picture!!!!!!!
Anyway I hope it all works out love and blessings Chris

Under the circumstances - I think you need to clarify which they mean - the form-fitting lingerie or the country.

Thanks for the question. Not so long ago I too looked this up as I've always called the low pile part on towels that name. Noone else knew what I meant, of course! I often like to embroider the name on that part of a towel(easier than on the loopies!) and put the design above or below.<br />It's possible they meant you to put something like a frame on it, then the name onto that? Like Sonia Showalter has at Stitchery Mall, for one example.

I saw some camisole's recently that might work? Basque to me means bodice, just like the picture below of the skirt. We called that drop waist bodice.
