In 1992 Bart Koene launched Barts in the Netherlands. The first collection proved a success, which led to a winter collection of 3 different fleece hats! From his home in the heart of Amsterdam, Bart focused his attention on hand-knitted winter accessories. From then on, the collections offered beautifully designed original items. Each style would be designed in Amsterdam with passion and care, using the highest quality materials. Every year, the collection would grow to be bigger, better and more beautiful. Today Barts produces beautiful warm winter hats, scarves, gloves, and accessories for men, women and children, even babies!
