ABOUT US
Blabla was created in 2001 by us, Susan Pritchett and Florence Wetterwald,
two good friends with the same philosophy of life and beauty.
While visiting Peru, we came across entire villages of expert knitters
who had been keeping the tradition alive for generations.
Inspired by their talent and the incredible quality and softness of Peruvian
cotton, we decided to start our own company of cuddly eco-friendly and
fair trade hand-made products for children.
Joseph Strong, Flo’s husband joined us a couple of years later and
our little trio has been running all things Blabla ever since.
Florence is a French artist who studied sculpture and industrial design in Europe and the USA.
She is a nature lover, and the creative force and designer of Blabla.
Joseph is from Atlanta
and is passionate about music
and car racing. He is Blabla’s
locomotive and CFO.
Susan is from Albany Georgia.
She worked as a photo stylist in NY
and Australia, and now lives on her
animal rescue farm in Athens.
She is in charge of communications.
When you hold a Blabla you are holding one end of a very important thread, one that connects us all, a strand of goodness, comfort, and love for the planet and everything on it.
