About Barts
The success story
The Dutch brand Barts is one of the leading manufacturers of first-class accessories for winter. It stands beyond the borders of Europe for inventive concepts in design, excellent quality and high-quality processed materials. The label owes its fame to the enormous selection of hand-knitted hats and beanies coveted by fashion-conscious people. Most recently, the company expanded its range with a collection for the warmer seasons, thus establishing a link to its beginnings.
In the summer of 1986, future founder Bart Koene stayed on the Côte d'Azur in France for an internship. Bored, he sat down at the sewing machine in his spare time and made his first shorts for the beach. On site, he sold them on a bamboo pole. With the money he earned, he traveled around the world. He found inspiration and ideas in fascinating places. Using unusual fabrics from Bali, he then continued the production in Saint-Tropez. There he quickly attracted the attention of the rich and beautiful. He additionally delighted women with attractive accessories.
When the demand could no longer be met on the beaches, Koene returned home and established a real business in Amsterdam in 1992. Barts started with a collection of pants and scarves, respectively bandanas. After the focus changed to handmade hats, the brand's success, which continues unabated to this day, was achieved within a short time.

Where did the word beanie originate?
Beyond winter, Barts beanies are trendy all year round. The name for the popular headwear comes from the English language. It derives from the colloquial word used for the head bean. Beanies resemble tight-fitting bobble hats in shape, originally without a pom-pom. Initially, workers wore them with an umbrella to protect them from the sun. Today, they find enthusiastic followers among contemporary fashion lovers of both sexes. They have long been part of hipsters' outfits at parties or adorn their heads on so-called bad hair days, without the need for elaborate hairdressing. Stars from Europe and Hollywood regularly wear them.
How can beanies be combined?
In the oversized look, a shape that hangs down at the back of the head that is popular with ladies, beanies are a trendy companion for a stroll through the city and a walk. For example, they provide space for the long hair. With casual clothes in everyday life or a chic blazer, they come into their own in any weather. They are available in the classy-looking basic colors black and gray, which go perfectly with jeans, leather jacket, parka and boots. In addition, Barts offers more striking models in blue, red, pink and other bright colors with current patterns. They set individual accents and act as an unobtrusive eye-catcher. Special beanie caps can be turned around and worn in two different colors. A colorful assortment caters to the special needs of children of all ages.
