bahns always fits the weather
Clothing for everybody's everyday
We specialize in slow fashion - making a family of items that stick together.
BAHNS is about continuity and familiarity. Think of us like a well curated and thought out menu in your favorite restaurant. Nothing enters the menu unless it fits perfectly.
An ode to fishermen and sailing, BAHNS offers a small collection of carefully knitted garments, inheretently environmetally friendly.
Each piece is designed with love and durability in mind, celebrating the quiet beauty of things built to last.
Introducing
Recycled denim
We offer both James Cook and Blake in the recycled denim yarn.
Denim has proven itself to be very durable and these sweaters are just the same. Yarn repurposed from old jeans, great way to recycle.
For now we only offer one color but more are to come!
Pillowfight on a Plank
Our legendary pillowfights take place on the first Sunday in June.
Fighters wear our swimsuits and fight until someone falls into the Atlantic ocean in the Reykjavík Harbour.

The one with the celebratory backflip
The winner of the 2022 pillowfight celebrated her win by jumping into the ice cold Atlantic Ocean. What a win!
Installation in Reykjavík Arts Museum
Following the Design Awards the winners were asked to set up a show in Hafnarhúsið, Reykjavíks Arts Museum.
The idea was to showcase the pattern in our winning garments visually by designing lamps to showcase the lightsignals from the cardinal buoys en make them blink accordingly.
Synchronized swimming
We set up a beautiful synchronized swimming show at Vesturbæjarlaug — a celebration of movement, water, and rhythm.
It was our way of welcoming the newest member of the BAHNS family: the Sea Swimsuit.
Choir in the pool
One of our most beloved local bars has an all-men’s choir. Every Monday evening, they gather for a beer and a few vocal exercises with their mates. We invited them to sing for us — dressed in our swimsuits and sweaters — while relaxing in the hot tubs at Vesturbæjarlaug.
It was as joyful and genuine as it sounds.
Arm Wrestle in the Maritime Museum
When we introduced our sweater BLAKE, we decided to celebrate in a unique way — by hosting an arm-wrestling match at the Maritime Museum of Iceland. People of all ages and genders joined in, signing up to compete or cheering from the sidelines. The atmosphere was full of energy and laughter.
