Galina is the co-founder of BAABUK, a Lausanne-based start-up that markets woolen sneakers, slippers and boots. The starting point of the brand is to reinvent the traditional Russian “Valenki” boot in order to modernize it while maintaining its authenticity. The start-up is certified by B-Corp for its social commitment.

What is important for Galina is to offer a natural, high-quality product manufactured according to very strict ethical standards.
