how it all started
Founded in Amsterdam in 2008, by-bar began as a modest collection of handcrafted accessories, inspired by founder Barbara Brenninkmeijer’s passion for authenticity, quality and craftsmanship. Over time, that passion evolved into a full lifestyle brand, offering high-quality, consciously made pieces that are designed to last.
by-bar embodies Barbara’s core values; authenticity, meaningful relationships and a keen eye for detail. Every collection is crafted with care, blending effortless elegance with conscious choices.
