The BoBo Name: A Tribute to Bourgeoise Boheme

The term 'Bobo' is a French portmanteau of 'bourgeoise' and 'boheme', a term sometimes used to describe the inhabitants of Abbesses, the area that is home to our office in Paris. Our trading name, BoBo, is a nod to this rich heritage and our commitment to blending the traditional with the modern.
