Saving the Rhinos

Why the rhino? Fair question. The short answer is that as a child Marc was missing a Tonton for Luke to ride when he played with his Star Wars toys. There was a shelf full of miniature rhinos close by (courtesy of Marc’s father), and with the help of a boy’s restless imagination, Luke got his Tonton, But the rhino has grown to encompass so much more. Its image adorns many of Ecko’s best-selling pieces, and its spirit—determined, restless, a little awkward yet always graceful— is the spirit of the company as well.
