our suppliers

The relationship with our suppliers is an important aspect for by-bar. From the beginning, we work closely with our dedicated partners. We visit our suppliers multiple times a year to collaborate on creating beautiful, high-quality products and a more sustainable future. We take the time to build loving, trusted, and respectful relationships with our partners. We do this to improve together, further develop sustainability, and above all, enjoy the success we have created together.

Italy 

Two or three times a year, we travel to Italy to visit our loyal suppliers. The Italians help us in producing the most beautiful cardigans and sweaters, as well as some of our woven styles.

India

The story of by-bar began in this beautiful country. In 2008, Barbara visited India for the first time to start her own jewelry collection. In addition to jewelry, we also produce cotton qualities and premium leather here.

Turkey 

We make sure to be in Turkey for the best denim qualities. Together with our suppliers, we take our responsibility very seriously in producing eco-denims. Additionally, we develop beautiful prints on various Ecovero viscose fabrics here.

Portugal

We have been coming to Portugal for a long time. Since the beginning of by-bar, we have been producing the finest sweats with beautiful artwork and embroidery here. The same factories still create the most beautiful items for us. We value long-lasting partnerships.

At by-bar, we strive to design sustainable products using more recycled materials, environmentally friendly resources, and transparency. Although we know that we are not yet perfect, we do our best to become as perfect as possible. From the choice of production methods, types of raw materials, and working conditions to our ecological footprint and employee engagement, we consider various aspects.

All the factories we collaborate with are located in Italy, Portugal, Turkey, and India, and are either part of or becoming part of an international platform such as Sedex or BSCI. Our suppliers are fully aware of the importance of being Sedex or BSCI certified. We visit our manufacturers multiple times a year, and during these visits, we always discuss and evaluate areas for improvement. Since 2020, we have chosen to reduce the number of trips as many discussions can also be conducted digitally, thereby minimizing the environmental impact.
