Lịch sử
Annie Hurlbut and her mother, Biddy Hurlbut, founded the company in 1976 after Annie encountered traditional knitwear during anthropological research in Peru. The brand initially operated as a mail-order catalog business, focusing on high-quality natural fibers. It played a significant role in introducing Andean textile heritage to the international luxury market. By partnering with local artisans, the company established a model for integrating indigenous craftsmanship into commercial fashion history.
