Handlebar web sites - ISO Narrow road bars

Hi
Looking for Carbon road bars for a short woman.
Mail order/web places have popular sizes only -
Worldcycling.com, Excel, etc. 40 cm is too wide for 5 feet
tall.

Anyone here know web sites for companies that make
handlebars?

I'd like web sites for Deda, ITM, Cinelli, Easton, Modolo
& Thompson for stems.
None of those were on Sheldon Brown's site. Ugh.
Thanks, NG

First, why does it have to be carbon? Carbon bars are necessarily
lighter, stronger or more durable, the last 2 being good choices in
something as critical as a handlbar.

Next, what does height (5 ft tall) and sex (woman) have to do with
fitting a handlebar. Usually handlebar width is dependent on shoulder
width, not the height or sex of a person.

The mfrs of the bars and stems mentioned all have websites, you may
want to do a google search for them.

Finally, although they don't make carbon bars, take a look at Nitto.
Rivendell has a great selection.

I answer-40cm c-c is the smallest bars made in carbon. All are 'anatomic' as
well, meaning not great for smaller hands. Terry makes hbars in 36/38/40cm c-c.
Look at these. Perhaps a wee bit heavier than carbon but fit way more important
than weight.

Not carbon, but Salsa Pocos are short and shallow, also narrow. Excellent
handlebars (I use the 38 cm size). Do a google search for web sites.
