Helen Weber, founder of Trickyboo grew up in Northern England, studied textile design in Brighton graduating in 1989.
She lived in France for several years while working as a Textile Designer, eventually establishing and running a successful design studio in Lyon with a partner.
Helen married in 1996 and moved to Zurich, Switzerland, selling her design studio in France.She concentrated on her family life for the next few years as her family expanded to include two
beautiful children. Inspired by wanting to design colorful and visually exciting bedrooms for her children and not being able to find some of the accessories that she visualized, she started to design and create colorful name banners and blankets to accomplish her goal. Friends and family loved the banners and blankets and shortly afterward, she began creating them as gifts. More product creation soon followed, including baby bibs, aprons, room garlands, and bags - all of which could be personalized.
In response to increasing interest in her creations, she decided to establish her own business once again, hence the birth of Trickyboo. At first, products were sold at local markets. However, as demand grew, Helen’s husband René became involved and developed a website and online shop. Trickyboo gradually established a European client base and continued to grow. Due to the increasing sales Helen couldn’t produce everything herself anymore: Trickyboo started to outsource production in Europe while Helen continued to design all of the products. Since Trickyboo stands for design and quality, Helen personally oversees all production departments to ensure they meet her high standards for quality.
