TESTED FOR
GENERATIONS

 

THE YEAR WAS 1942.

Bibe was a 15 year old girl that couldn’t afford to buy any hygiene products. But she was creative and decided to produce her own body scrub out of the material that was available to her. She used the threads from a rice bag and crocheted a body scrub. Her body scrub quickly became popular and her crochet description spread from village to village, from country to country. Although it has not been represented on the market before, the same body scrub has been common in many bathrooms for a long time.

The story behind BIBES is a well-kept secret. Until 2009, not even Bibe´s daughter Maria knew that the scrub which had been a customary hygiene article in her family house was indeed invented by her mother.

In the fall of 2009, Maria´s husband Samuel, wondered where the scrub had come from. When Maria then asked her mother about it, she was told the whole story, and was both saddened and proud. Saddened because her mother couldn’t afford to buy hygiene products, yet proud that her creation had become so popular. Maria decided to honour her mother by starting to produce Bibe’s body scrub and naming it after her. Today it is called BIBES Ren & Len.
