Fire up your synapses and get thinking, its time to find out how-well-you-know-BoBo.
True or False? A Bourgeois Boheme customer had trouble with Honolulu Customs when they suspected that his BB Rhys faux-lizard wallet was made from the skin of the “Monitor Lizard, Varanus species”.
True or False? Records show that the first mention of “vegetarian shoes” dates back to the XVII century, when a chef of the notorious French king Louis XIV proudly presented him with a copy of his favorite shoes made entirely from vegetables.
True or False? The company is called Bourgeois Boheme because Alicia and Van, BoBo owners, are descendants from the old French bourgeoisie.
True or False? Bourgeois Boheme has over 150 styles of fabulous vegan shoes for men and women; their new range includes hemp and heels and will be launched in June '08.
True or False? The BoBo team are able to process orders in Hindi, Afrikaans, Mandarin, Russian, Cantonese, Spanish and French; we're not bad in the Queen's English either… and oh yes, good ol' Aussie of course!
If you get the questions right you can claim a 10% discount on any purchase made between now and 31st May 2008. Use the answers to the questions to figure out the mystery voucher code: the code might look something like this FTTFT. F=false and T=True, all letters must be in CAPITAL. Good luck!
