Story
Get to Know Us
Marylou & Athénaïs are both from Paris. They met a few years ago and instantly clicked over their love for roller skating, performing, and dancing. Since then, they’ve been inseparable, sharing countless skating adventures across Europe. Taking over GingerSkates felt like the natural next step in their journey together.
GingerSkate’s custom roller skate service was born in 2016 out of Esther and Marcel’s love for skating. Marylou and Athénaïs are honored to carry the torch, keeping the spirit of GingerSkate alive and thriving.
