They are distributed at upper tier Department Stores such as Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, Bergdorf Goodman, Von Maur, Nordstrom, as well as many high end specialty stores around the world.[1] After switching from men's shirts to boy's fashion early on in the company's history, they introduced a girl's line of clothing in 2015 under the Andy & Evan brand.[3]
History
[edit]Andy Perl & Evan Hakalir both worked at hedge funds until they lost their jobs in the great recession of 2008. It was then that they decided to start Andy & Evan, for which Perl's toddler son was the company's spokesmodel and inspiration.[4]
Andy & Evan began in the men's custom shirt business,[5] but switched to fashion-forward children's clothing after noticing a void in the market for the right kind of product.[6][7]
Evan Hakalir was appointed President & CEO as of January, 1st 2018.[8]
Company outlook
