Dana beanies – WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO.

MARTINA ORIGINIALLY COMES FROM A SMALL TOWN IN THE HEART OF VORARLBERG/ AUSTRIA AND WENT TO BALI IN 2004 FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME TO SPEND THE SUMMER THERE. SHE STAYED AT ‘THE BALICAMP’ AND HER DREAM WAS TO START SURFING. MARTINA THEN BECAME GOOD FRIENDS WITH THE BALICAMP OWNERS AND DEDICED TO COME BACK THE FOLLOWING SUMMER.SHE DID HER FIRST LITTLE SUMMER COLLECTION OF DANA BEANIES THAT SECOND YEAR IN BALI.

IT WAS AT THIS TIME THAT MARTINA MET RIAN, A FULL HEARTED BALINESE HINDU, WHILST SURFING ONE OF BALIS BEAUTIFUL WAVES. THIS BLOSSOMING LOVE AFFAIR INSPIRED MARTINA TO MAKE MORE THAN JUST A HANDFUL BEANIES FOR FRIENDS – SHE WANTED TO BE ABLE TO PAY A FLIGHT FOR RIAN’S FIRST TRIP TO AUSTRIA.

OVER THE COMING FIRST 6 MONTHS OF DANA BEANIES AND AFTER SOME HARD TIME OF WORK THE DREAM TO GET A TICKET CAME TRUE – RIAN AND MARTINA SPENT A FEW WEEKS IN AUSTRIA TOGETHER AND RIAN JUST LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT - THE COUNTRY – THE PEOPLE AND THE SNOW!!! RIAN HAS BEEN IN AUSTRIA NOW SEVERAL TIMES AND STARTED SNOWBOARDING…

IN 2007 RIAN FINALLY DROPPED THE QUESTION AND HE & MARTINA MARRIED 2008 IN BALI.

ALWAYS GO IN THE DIRECTION OF YOUR DREAMS – LIVE THE LIFE YOU ‘VE IMAGINED!

WELCOME TO OUR DREAM – WELCOME TO DANA BEANIES.

The *D* stands for Dana and is the Balinese word for “HAPPY TO GIVE”. As it is also Rian’s family name, we think that just suits perfectly!

All Dana Beanies are handmade with love from Housewives and Mothers in the hometown of Rian in Negara. It is very hard in regions like that, since there is not much work and hardly any tourism. This gives them a chance to stay at home with their childern as well as earn their own money.

It is very important to us at Dana Beanies that all people, who work for our project are treated fairly. This is a community project and every new knitted Dana Beanie helps a whole bunch of people every day.

This is what makes every single Dana Beanie a very special & unique beanie! Not one of our Beanie ever looks exactly the same - Just like us. Slighty different Dana Beanies just show the unique quality of a handmade product.

after a lot of weeks and many hours full of work and even more differ-ent samples we achieved the final result of the quality product we were looking for. Beanies of the very best quality, that are cosy, warm, trendy and very different from any other product.

Dana Beanies are made with love, hope, dreams and a smile, and we hope they bring you the same good vibrations.
