Originating in Venice, California as an artistic collaboration between founders Christina Apostolidou, Matthieu Le Blan and Simon Cohen.  291 launced its first collections in 2008.  The collection of tees, hoodies and bottoms were created in the likeness and spirit of the three longtime friends, and 291 immediately emerged with the offering of a unique aesthetic - one inspired by the 1970's beach culture that still pulsates through the line's namesake town and the global sophistication of today's traveler.  The 291 collection draws inspiration from the modern-day bohemian nomad, creating a look that is both sexy and carefree, with an edge of sophistication.  Consistent attention to detail, quality and modern styling position 291 at the forefront of casual fashion, where global inspiration meets everyday needs.
