Kujten is the brainchild of Carole Benaroya and Stéphanie Eriksson, a friendship that began in their teens. Their bond grew stronger as they went from middle school to high school. Carole and Stéphanie discovered a shared passion: fashion. In 2012, Carole, from the world of finance, felt the need to add a dose of passion to her professional life. She immediately thought of her friend Stéphanie, who was attuned to detail and the beauty of the world. With a background in fashion and extensive experience in knitwear and cashmere, Stéphanie had worked for fifteen years at the Parisian design office of Joseph, a renowned British fashion house specializing in knitwear. Kujten was born from this shared love for an exceptional material: cashmere. After their first trip to Mongolia, during which they fell under the spell of the land of blue skies, their ambition to create their own cashmere brand was solidified.
