“Our beloved founder and forever inspiration, Etienne Aigner, was born in Hungary to a close-knit Jewish family who taught him the value of education and hard work. As a young man he would make his living as a carpet merchant, a window dresser, and a light bulb salesman. While apprenticing under a well known bookbinder in Paris, Mr. Aigner also learned to make handbags from a colleague in what he described as a “fortuitous accident.” He and Suzanne opened the Etienne Aigner atelier in 1959 in New York City, and were off to the races—literally. His logo was an “A” styled to resemble a horseshoe, a symbol of good luck. Among the pieces that flew off the shelves in upscale department stores were his cordovan riding boots. And his innovative handbags—including the now iconic basket bag—shoes, and accessories were a hit with the town and country set.”
