The company was founded in 1997 by Hernán and Judith de Balcázar when they opened a boutique in Notting Hill.[citation needed] In 1999, a mail order service was launched and a website the following year.[2] The company was notable for generating an estimated $94.9K in revenue per employee and had an estimated annual revenue of $7.8M. It had approximately 82 employees.[3] The company ceased to trade in 2017. The company continued to exist until it was liquidated and ceased to exist as a company in 2019. [4]

Community work

[edit]

Throughout its history the company supported small businesses and charities in Peru by offering internships and by raising funds.[5][6]

In March 2011, the company was mentioned during a debate on ethical fashion at the House of Lords. Baroness Rendell of Babergh stated that Wall "set an example that could be a standard for [fashion] companies".[7]
