We got to know each other on holiday – a holiday romance, you would think. Nothing was further from the truth. It was the beginning of our life story. We still cherish our first trip together, and all other trips that may follow. To us, holidays still mean wonderful moments with the family.

We’ve been inseparable ever since we met. Fell in love, got engaged, got married! We immortalised that fantastic day in a photo album. We designed the invitations, the guest book and the menu. In our own style and to our own taste.

We soon added to our family with the arrival of two lovely daughters. Welcome, little mini-Pelemans! Their first mashed vegetables, their first word, their first baby steps. We wanted to cherish these wonderful little moments forever. We took photos of everything and kept them all in personalised booklets. Now our daughters have a great memento of their first years. And those are years of inestimable value.

How time flies! Little kiddies grow up. We’ve always considered birthdays very important. Unforgettable birthday traditions create lasting memories for your children, who will cherish them forever and even pass them on to their own children. We wanted to make every birthday tangible with a photo album. It’s so great to see your children growing in photos!

Playschool, primary school, secondary school and university. Over and over again we made personalised diaries and notebooks for our daughters. They also created their own beautifully bound copies of their dissertations, with text in foil print on the cover.

Life is a party! Every milestone reached is a great reason to celebrate. A special birthday, a wedding anniversary, retirement, setting up a new branch of Peleman and more. We never let these wonderful and emotional moments pass us by. Quite the reverse. Because milestones like these are often unique and only come along once, and we’re firmly convinced that you have to make these moments tangible so as to anchor them in your memory forever.

The next major step in our lives was starting our own business. We went to notaries, solicitors, architects, we visited premises, got advice, hired an accountant and got going. Thanks to all these people, we took the plunge.
