Annie Venditti a former professional figure skater started Banana Bob in 1986. Everything in the line was made in Providence, Rhode Island. They used many imported component parts, for example, the rhinestones and many of the fancy stones are Swarovski of Austria!! Other stones are imported from various parts of Europe and the Orient.
