WABB - WE ARE BALLA BALLA was founded in October 2020 by the Austrian Chris Black and in the same month the online shop www.weareballaballa.com was launched and the first collection went online.
Chris Black is originally from Kitzbühel, but for professional reasons lived in various German cities such as Hamburg, Mannheim, Karlsruhe, Oberhausen, Heidelberg and Regensburg for 9 years before founding the streetwear label WE ARE BALLA BALLA in 2020! Since then he has lived primarily in Portugal, as that is where all of his production facilities with which he works are located.
The Company is registered in Kitzbühel and in the north of Portugal!
The idea for WABB came about on a wonderful day of snowboarding on the Hintertux Glacier.
Chris, who is a passionate snowboarder, ballerted down the slopes with his snowboard crew and in the drag lift on the way back to the top of the mountain, the brand name WE are Balla Balla!
Surrounded by a unique mountains, fantastic snow conditions, Bluebird and indescribable feelings such as happiness and hype, Wabb was born!
Chris takes care of all areas, takes the designs himself, takes the product photos itself, takes care of social media, supplies the shops, works closely with several productions from Portugal, is now in front of the lens and strives for marketing and to constantly improve e-commerce. The music for the respective collection videos also comes from Chris and his producers!
Elisabeth, Chris' sister, looks after everything about shipping, including your parcels.
What can we give you?
It was very important to us from day one to produce streetwear from organic, recycled and upcycled materials.
We also strive to make very soft pieces that are made in Portugal under fair working conditions.
In summary, with us you get ultra-soft streetwear that is manufactured to a high quality and lasts a long time.
Facts and explanations:
Organic material:
In contrast to conventional cotton, 100 % organic cotton, the use of organic cotton is not used to use synthetic pesticides and art fertilizers.
Recycled streetwear:
When recycling, waste products of all kinds are reused in a variety of ways. For example: Our beanies are made from recycled plastic bottles
Upcycled streetwear:
These are mostly unused, i.e. new residues of another brand that is breathed in a second (or third) life in the form of a new product type. We virtually use waste products from other brands, which are otherwise thrown away again.
