Andy Krumholz

My name is Andy Krumholz. I'm from Ohio and since an early age I've been fascinated by foreign cultures. Throughout school I did miserably in languages but for some reason I had a knack for Mandarin and I ended up spending 14 years in Taiwan. I've always liked Bossa Nova music and in 2002 I decided to take a long awaited trip to Brazil. It was there that I saw the traditional handicraft of crochet-with-tabs and from the moment I saw it I knew that I wanted to somehow adapt this traditional craft for the average consumer. With very little experience in business and no clue about handbags I ran around in circles for about sixteen months but with the help of Socorro, Eric, Ryan and the women in the cooperatives, we now have the beginnings of something really great. I'm amazed to see how much we've accomplished so far and I can't wait to see what happens next.
