Founded in 1985 by Bonnie Hanson in Laguna Beach, BB Dakota began as a mother-daughter operation rooted in California’s coastal culture before evolving into a contemporary staple under creative director Katharine Brandes. Now a subsidiary of Steve Madden, the brand is defined by its "French girl meets California cool" aesthetic—offering effortless, trend-conscious pieces that bridge the gap between fast fashion and premium contemporary design.
