Founded in 1950 in New York by Hungarian-born bookbinder-turned-designer Etienne Aigner, the namesake brand began as a bespoke leather goods business before expanding into a global fashion house. Aigner’s early apprenticeships with Christian Dior and Cristóbal Balenciaga deeply informed his approach to construction and material, leading to the creation of his signature "Antic Red" (or Chianti) leather pieces. The brand is instantly recognizable by its iconic "A" logo stylized as a horseshoe, which reflects its classic, equestrian-leaning aesthetic.
