What was the beginning of all that ?
It started in Sidi Kaouki, in the summer of 2003, in that big wide bay at the atlantic coastline, in magic and mystical Morocco. Ebba and geppetto stayed there for every day surfing. Our friend Abdulha, not only a tuareg business man, always came to our tent, which you were able to build up directly on the beach. He wanted to sell us his bits and bobs....The landscape, the climate, the friendly locals, the sea, the whole mix of influences, something happened there. So after 2 months totally washed by the waves, sanded by the wind and with a few arabic words talking about some things, our eyes stucked focusing on Abdulha`s fine trousers. A pair of blue Tuareg trousers with a traditional embroidery, in an effect of noble and casual. But on repeated requests he didn`t like to break up with them. Of course we understand that, because who would spontaneously sell his own trousers? We had tried in vain, to find such a quality - Well, otherwise he always wanted to sell everything he had! In Africa, there is plenty of time for thoughts. So these "biped - wrappings" had to be made by ourselves and because Ebba is good in sewing and knitting, she started to do one saroual. And that was the point when actually geppetto`s custom desires met Ebba`s ideas of design. We did not know, what it means to go one step after the other and that it will mesmerizing us for years day after day. Initially we had no terminology for what`s going on following the path of product development. But these red cactus fruit, a souvenir from another surftrip, grew to a lot of small cacti. One friend celebrated birthday and so we carried the present, a mini cactus on the way to her party. We both felt that the present like this is too impersonal and suddently it felt like scales from the eyes, to give also our vision this name. geppebba [dʒepæba:] - a prickly gift from ebba & geppetto : )
