The luxury perfume brand "Aigner" was inspired by the life and work of Etienne Aigner, a talented artisan who began his career as a bookbinder in Slovenia in 1904. After moving to Paris and later to New York, he gained recognition for his exquisite handbag designs, which caught the attention of renowned fashion houses such as Lanvin, Rochas, Fath, and Dior. In 1965, the brand was acquired by a German businessman who expanded its product line to include travel bags, shoes, cosmetics, and women's clothing. Today, "Aigner" offers a wide range of handcrafted leather goods, fragrances, jewelry, and accessories for both exclusive clientele and a more budget-friendly segment. The Munich-based "Etienne Aigner AG" markets the brand as "Etienne Aigner" in North America and as "Aigner" in the rest of the world, selling its products in upscale specialty stores, company-owned stores, and online platforms.
