Ági Anderson owner/designer |
Like many other design companies, DESIGNS BY ÁGI was
destined to be created.
I’ve been sewing, crocheting and knitting since I was 6 years old.
I started a freelance knitwear business in 1991, designing one of
a kind hand knitted original sweaters for knitting magazines like
VOGUE, McCALL’S and KNITTER’S. I have several published
designs that I’m still proud of.
Since I am a mother of two, I began concentrating on children’s
sweaters and launched my first wholesale collection 13 years
ago. I created crocheted appliqués to embellish the knitted
garments. Later, I used the same added details on tee-shirts and
other garments.
I have always designed whimsical creations, picked fun and
vibrant colors.
At one point I had 100 specialty boutiques from around the US
featuring my line of kids clothing. As an extension to my
business, 8 years ago I decided to start selling my collection at
craft shows and special events, mostly in Manhattan, NY.
As I learned more about my customers and my business, I begun
focusing extensively on my animal designs. My best sellers are
the dog, monkey, frog, giraffe and piggy designs, accenting
different body styles and colors year after year. My appliqués are
designed by me very carefully to create really cute and special
characters. (I hand make every sample to be sure to get the
perfect result.) Then, the designs are hand crocheted by
specialty manufacturers. Once the appliqués are complete, they
are hand stitched to the various garments that I have designed.
My collection is well recognized for the vibrant solid and tie dyed
colors and fun shapes.
Through the years I have developed a great relationship with
many of my regular customers –who are coming to see me not
only from various states but also from different countries! They
love and cherish my unique designs and the great quality of the
garments.
I love what I do, I love dealing with the customers and finding
them the items that makes them happy!
