Bebel is, above all, a story of friendship. True friendship! The kind that makes you say life wouldn't have the same flavor without it...
The friendship that allows you to move forward more serenely, to face life's challenges with more courage, and to achieve all your projects with more success!
It is this friendship that inspired BEBEL in 2017!
But for the curious, let’s quickly look back at the how and why!
It’s the story of 4 teenagers who met in high school, with heads full of ambitions and dreams!
Despite very different paths - international business for Clara, finance for Sarah, advertising for Charlotte, and law for Jenny - we never left each other's sides!
Years go by, we build our careers and our personal lives, each at our own pace but never far from one another.

Despite very different paths - international trade for Clara, finance for Sarah, advertising for Charlotte, and law for Jenny - we would never part ways!
The years go by, we build our careers and our personal lives, each at our own pace but never far from one another.
It’s a bit of a cliché, but it was during our first pregnancies that the desire to start a business became obvious!
In 2015, Théa and Shaé were born!
Our blonde and our brunette, our first sources of inspiration, but also our motivation to face the (many) difficulties of starting a business: finding a workshop, suppliers, partners, not getting discouraged at the slightest obstacle... falling and then getting back up!
Set up in Sarah's living room, which was transformed into an office and order preparation room: in 2017 Bebel was launched!
In February 2018, orders increased and fate soon brought Clara into the adventure, bringing her sales expertise, her rigor, and her legendary organization!
In June 2018, we left Sarah's apartment, moved into real offices, and since then we have been working hard, every day, to satisfy you: our customers, our resellers, our partners...
Several production facilities:
An ESAT (a work-based social inclusion organization), also located in Marseille, with a dedicated team.
A factory in Portugal that allows us to ensure larger volumes and greater responsiveness.

Since then, thousands of diaper bags sold almost everywhere, a #TEAMBEBEL, a true community, always kind, always there to whisper brilliant ideas to us...
So yes, it’s not always easy: we yell at each other, we argue, we don’t always agree, but what a joy it is to work and BE INSPIRED TOGETHER.
And for those extra curious people wondering where Jenny is in all this? She hasn’t joined our adventure yet because she is too fulfilled in her life as a lawyer; she follows everything, gives her opinion on everything, she is hidden behind the scenes... and who knows what the future holds for us?
