When Martina was young she loved to wear beanies and hats. Her sister Sabina never understood why she needed 30 different styles and colours, but there never seemed to be enough.

When she first went to Bali in 2004 she started looking for some new ideas and then in 2005 decided to start making the very first of the Beanie Dana range.

This summer saw the first little summer collection.

It was at this time that Martina meet Rian. This blossoming love affair inspired Martina to make more than just a few beanies for friends - she wanted to be able to pay for a flight for Rian's first trip to Austria.

Over the coming 6 months after some hard work the dream became true - live your dreams and keep on working at it......all we can say is THANK YOU.



More History
Why Dana ??

In Balinese 'Dana' means happy to give. We think that suits just perfectly....it is also Rian's family name.

So we knew this is the name for our beanies as it supports the thought of why we started to make the beanies.

Welcome to Beanie Dana!!

We work with a little factory in Bali and every single beanie is 100% handmade. That makes every single beanie very special & unique. Not one of our Beanies ever look exactly the same. Just like us, we all have our own style.

Slighty different Beanies show the unique quality of a handmade product.

It is very important to Beanie Dana that all of the people involved in our project are treated fairly. This is a community project and every Beanie Dana beanie helps a whole range of people every day.

so after all the work and many hours and many different samples we achieved the final result of the quality product we wanted. Beanies of the very best quality that are cosy, warm, trendy and very different from anything else.

Not only that, but they are made with love, hope, dreams and a smile! We hope they bring you the same good feelings.
