Kujten embodies the enduring friendship between Carole Benaroya and Stéphanie Eriksson, who bonded over their shared love for fashion since their teenage years. In 2012, Carole sought to infuse passion into her professional life and turned to her friend Stéphanie, who brought expertise in knitwear and cashmere from her work at Joseph’s Parisian styling department. Inspired by a trip to Mongolia, where they fell in love with the beauty of the landscape, they decided to start their own cashmere brand.
