The story

It all started with fine burgundy leather and the vision of Etienne Aigner...

Etienne Aigner established himself as a purveyor of leather goods in Paris where he began turning out handbags and belts and was already making a name for himself among the European fashion elite, including Christian Dior.

"I learned my first valuable lesson from Dior; Make something different, don't follow the trade."

Like many a success story, Etienne Aigner came to America staking his claim in the ever-competitive Mecca of Manhattan. Where he began to diversify; introducing the American public to the artistry he'd mastered in Europe.

Aigner's signature "A" and use of distinctive burgundy leather satisfied many a well-heeled customer.

The Brand

The Aigner logo is recognized as a symbol representing tradition, innovations and trends. Aigner is proud of a heritage that has evolved to combine modern creations into a cohesive Aigner style with exclusive materials and the finest leathers.

At present

Today, Etienne Aigner is a leader in the design, sourcing and distribution of quality women's handbags and small leather goods. In addition, we have extended the brand through successful licensing partnerships with leading manufacturers for shoe wear, gloves and sunglasses.

The latest innovation is our collection of timeless jewelry... a great brand extension on its own, paired with elements from our handbag collection, is truly a work of art.
