was a traveler, trekking through exotic lands across the
Atlantic. The other was a designer, focused on fashion runways

Wang and Ingrid Chen met as young girls and remained close
friends through adulthood. Growing up in the Bay Area, both
completed their undergraduate studies at the University
of California at Berkeley. Vivian graduated with a Business
degree, emphasizing in Marketing; Ingrid received her BA
in Physiology. |

Preferring
to enhance the human body rather than dissect it, Ingrid
switched her pursuit to an MFA in Fashion Design at the
Academy of Art College. Meanwhile, Vivian traded the corporate
scene for a life on the road, backpacking through Europe,
Asia and Australia. |

January of 1999, while discussing the latest fashion trends
over coffee, they realized that they were a design team
waiting to happen. Vivian with her free-spirited flair,
Ingrid with her refined detailing, both obsessive compulsive;
they set out together to create a new philosophy in accessible
luxuries for the modern woman. |
