From an early age Andy Krumholz was fascinated by foreign cultures. Throughout school he did miserably in languages but for some reason had a knack for Mandarin and ended up living in Taiwan for 14 years. In 2002 Andy decided to take a long awaited trip to Brazil. It was there he saw the traditional handicraft of crochet-with-tabs and from that moment he knew he wanted to somehow adapt this traditional craft into products for the international consumer.
