Birth of by-bar, the brand!
It all started in 2008 when Barbara developed special earrings from India and were sold out straight away. Bit by bit she developed a complete women collection including accessories. Barbara stopped all other activities to fully dedicate herself to the brand we know today www.by-bar.nl goes live!

First employee!
Barbara hires her first employee and moves from the kitchen table to her first small office. Besides working at her office, she also travels around the world, with a curious and cosmopolitan view, building relationships with craftsmen in Italy, Portugal, and India.
