Why Wallaby?
I originally wanted to name the company Moon. But this did not correspond to my idea of an agile company that is able to respond flexibly to the needs of customers and the market. In a book about Australia, I read about a species of small Wallaby kangaroos, nimble and fast animals. The name of the company was born all of a sudden."
Our team
Wallaby is an almost entirely female company. Our team includes the following professions - designer, cutter, tailor, seamstress... In our team, we only have qualified colleagues who love their craft and put their hearts into production.
Company from West Bohemia
Our business is based on the traditional textile craft of Podkrušnohoří region. Already at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, there were dozens of manufacturing companies in our region. In the nineties, there was a huge decline in our industry. Our goal is not only to produce high quality products, but also to preserve the skills for future times in our local manufacturing.
