Etienne Aigner established himself as a purveyor of leather goods in Paris designing handbags and belts for the European Fashion elite, including Christian Dior. Like many a success story, Mr. Aigner came to America to stake his claim in the ever-competitive Mecca of Manhattan. In 1959 Mr. Aigner opened his first showroom and introduced the American public to the artistry he'd mastered in Europe. The Aigner logo is recognized worldwide as a symbol representing tradition, innovation and trends. Aigner is proud of a distinct heritage that has evolved to combine modern creations with a singular Aigner style known for exclusive materials and the finest leathers. Today, Etienne Aigner is a leader in the design, sourcing and distribution of quality women's handbags, small leather goods and jewelry.
