I’m Barbara Enefer and I’m the owner and operator of Miss B.E.E. Designs – an artisanal clothing company located in Gibsons, BC. Our clothing is made locally – here in Gibsons and in Vancouver. Our garments are made from carefully curated beautiful cotton prints with coordinating luxurious bamboo separates, creating casual wear that is as individual as the person wearing it. Miss B.E.E. clothes are comfortable, casual, classic, relaxed – and very special.
I’ve been sewing since I was a little girl, but even before I could pick up a needle and thread my Mom dressed me in little girl dresses that she made by hand. My Nana made lace and hand smocked my baby dresses. So I come by it naturally.
As I got older, I fell in love with colour and prints. I made my own dresses and skirts and later crafted aprons and table linen. In 2014, a dear friend asked me to make some pyjamas for her lingerie store, using some of the beautiful prints in my stash. I started small and made a few pairs of P.J.’s for Summer and Christmas to sell in her store, and to our delight we couldn’t keep them on the shelves! Thus, Miss B.E.E. Designs was born.
