The "search for the ultimate trousers" changed our lives and surprised our imagination we had at the beginning.
Our passion started in summer 2003 at a large bay on the atlantic coastline of north Africa. For 2 month a mobile beach trader wanted to sell us his traditional accessories e v e r y day - but after that time something happened, when our eyes stucked focusing on his fine looking trousers. A pair of blue saourel with traditional embroideries, in an effect of noble and casual.
This changed our daily situation and we asked him everyday... but, we tried in vain, to buy his trousers... ???
- so this lead us to push the "do it yourself button" and the idea of making the ultimate pair of trousers was born.
ebba is brilliant in sewing and knitting and she started to do the first prototype and this was the point when geppetto`s custom desires met her ideas of design. So one step after the other it became a mesmerizing and challenging life to work & learn together - developing innovative & timeless pieces that are ‘buy now, keep forever’ classics..
Initially we had no terminology for what`s going on with us - but 3 years of prototyping and long testing periods luckily made us to make our first industrial production in 2006 - yep, and one day it felt like scales from the eyes to say:
geppetto + ebba = geppebba 
The vision to bring trousers to a new level has motivated us 8 years now - thanks to the feedback of our fans!
