  –What on earth does MuBu mean? MuBu is a combination of syllables of our names. We wanted to tell a personal story through our brand name, we wanted something short and easy to remember. Mu represents Michael and Bu represents me, Saskia. – It’s been a very bumpy road since the beginning of MuBu but an adventure!
