welcome to by-bar
by-bar is a Dutch lifestyle brand for modern women, offering contemporary collections of high-quality, conscious-made clothes that are designed to last.
Founded in Amsterdam in 2008 by Barbara Brenninkmeijer, by-bar started out small scale with handcrafted accessories. Over time, the idea of starting her own brand grew, one rooted in Barbara’s own values and her way of doing business. Authenticity, personal relationships and attention to detail are integral to Barbara. She has woven these characteristics into by-bar, building a female-led business that has considered its impact on the world from the very.
our conscious journey
We are committed to using our business as a force for good by taking responsibility for our impact on our products, people and planet. By being transparent about our journey and conscious choices, we want to create positive change and hope to inspire others to do the same. Our practices will keep evolving as we learn more.
our collections
The by-bar style can best be described as a combination of clean Scandinavian design with an elegant French touch, and always including a genuine spark of joy. Our collections are based on a contemporary, fresh aesthetic that is woven throughout the details. That’s what makes the by-bar style unique.
We always strive to offer the best quality in everything we do, whether it’s in our products, our services, in the materials we work with or when we host an event. We put a lot of love, care and passion into the details and we’re always on the lookout for new, more sustainable alternatives.
