BALOU’S Story & Values 

BALOU was founded by British designer and mother, Banayioda Theodorou in 2020. Her background in the industry consists of over 15 years of qualifications and experience in fashion; working in categories such as bridal, tailoring, and ready to wear womenswear and kidswear. Banayioda (also known as B) grew a whole new passion for woman empowerment when she gave birth to her daughter, which led to BALOU being born shortly after.
