mediterranean notes
A collection inspired by slow days under the southern sun. From the terraces of Hotel Mediterraneo to small seaside cafés where afternoons stretch a little longer than planned. It’s the rhythm of summer, a morning espresso, a dip in the pool, an aperitivo as the sun begins to set.

poolside service
This is poolside service, reservations required, names checked twice and sunscreen definitely involved. Our new collection unfolds like a private afternoon by the water.

bold bloom
Bold Bloom is about expression. Greens and pinks come into focus through refreshing prints, framed by palms and warm summer light. The collection draws from vintage resort moments, afternoons by the pool, shaded terraces, sunlit paths lined with tiles and greenery.

shifted views
Shifted Views is defined by contrast. Mediterranean architecture meets artisan prints, as classic silhouettes are reworked through texture and details.

founders edit
In this Founders Edit, we talk to Barbara Brenninkmeijer, the founder and creative mind behind by-bar, and Carla Highet, co-owner and driving force behind the brand’s international growth. What began as an accessory collection has grown into a full-fledged lifestyle brand with a conscious vision on fashion.
the denim edit
Denim is a timeless classic, but the perfect pair of jeans is all about the right fit. From wide-leg silhouettes to classic tapered styles, our denim edit offers a selection of fits, colours and washes to help you find your perfect pair.
tailoring edit
Precision and ease come together in our tailoring collection. Clean lines, refined cuts, and fabrics that move with you. Whether it’s a classic co-ord suit, the versatility of a tailored blazer, or trousers that take you from AM to PM, this is tailoring for the modern woman. Structured, yet effortlessly wearable.
care guide
Learn how to cherish your clothes for years to come through mindful care. To extend the lifespan of your favourite by-bar pieces, it’s essential to take proper care of them.
conscious journey
At by-bar, we believe that businesses can make a positive impact. That’s why we take responsibility for the planet, the people, and the products we create.
beyond our suppliers
As a B Corp™-certified brand, we believe transparency goes beyond certificates and data. During our visit to Italy, we looked further into our supply chain — beyond our direct suppliers — meeting knitting mills, washing houses and small linking facilities. In other words, the partners behind our partners: the specialists responsible for fabrics, treatments and finishing.
the women behind by-bar
At by-bar, we celebrate the strength of modern femininity — in all its forms. From the women in our design studios to those in our international supplier network, by-bar is deeply rooted in female collaboration and entrepreneurship.
embracing transparency
Transparency has always been part of by-bar. From the beginning, we have shared how our collections come to life, from sharing our production journeys to our long-term partnerships. In collaboration with Fashion Statement Now, we are openly sharing our production numbers, because openness should include the figures behind our decisions.
As a certified B Corp, we believe responsibility starts with transparency, not only in intention, but in the choices behind it.
our antic story
It was in 2012 when Barbara, founder of by-bar, was touched by the beauty of traditional Indian blankets during one of her travels through India. These colourful fabrics, with their rich patterns, told the stories of generations of women who had lovingly used them.
