In ancient China, seals were symbols of high office. Delicately carved and highly personal, signature seals were widely used from conducting business to art. Paintings and calligraphies for instance, were often adorned with several seals beyond that of the original creator as prestigious owners would affix their personal stamps to indicate that the piece was worthy of their collection thereby becoming an integral part of the art itself. Having lived over 20 years in Asia, I entitled myself to a little cultural appropriation and imagined the logo, BaouRouge to appear similar to a Mandarin’ stamp, with the red ink, nine squares, one for every letter of the name BaouRouge, each made of concentric lines resembling traditional Chinese characters, yet still perfectly readable. Today, I proudly affix this seal on products that I find worthy, beautiful and bring genuine benefits. Those are products I designed myself from the ground up, or enhanced from an earlier design, making them absolutely unique. I am a user first and foremost, and I listen to feedback.

BaouRouge may be a small brand, but I believe in it on a giant scale! I am also not alone in this venture. I am happy that BaouRouge directly supports families instead of shareholders. Your patronage buys groceries and sends kids to school. That is invaluable!
