Robin Richman IS A SELF-PROCLAIMED FUTZER. THAT MEANS HER FINGERPRINT IS EVERYWHERE. BUT THAT'S HARDLY SURPRISING. WITH A DEGREE FROM THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO IN TEXTILE DESIGN, ROBIN HAS ALWAYS BEEN HANDS-ON IN HER CREATIONS, HAVING FIRST GAINED A LARGE FOLLOWING FOR HER HANDKNITS.

ROBIN OPENED THE STORE IN 1998 WITH WOMEN'S CLOTHING AND ACCESSORIES NOT DRIVEN BY TRENDS, BUT RATHER BY AESTHETICS, QUALITY AND FABRIC. HER SHOES. HER BAGS. HER HOME DECOR. EVERYTHING IS PURCHASED IN LIMITED QUANTITIES. BECAUSE ROBIN DOESN'T BELIEVE EVERYONE SHOULD LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME.
