This Episode Of “Worth Knowing” Is Dedicated To Australian-born And New York-trained Fashion Designer Aimee Kestenberg. She Has Become One Of The Top-grossing Handbag And Accessory Designers In America. You may have seen her on QVC.

We Met Years Ago Through A Mutual Friend Of Ours Named Leo Who Passed Away Just About A Year Ago In The Most Unfortunate Accident. We Miss Him So Much. He Had The Brightest And Most Unique Personality, The Best Style, And He Loved Nothing More Than Bringing Cool People Together. I Felt Lucky To Be Considered “Cool” By Him And Even Luckier To Have Met Aimee

We Have Had Some Amazing Times Together, But Lately, It’s Rare Aimee And I Get To Hang Out Because She Is Pretty Much The Busiest Person I Know.

Today, In Addition To Running Her Own Namesake Line, Which Is Currently Available In Over 15 American Retailers Including Nordstrom, Qvc, Shopbop And Lord & Taylor, Her Company Has The Licenses To And Creates The Handbag And Accessories For Major Fashion Brands Including Halson And C Wonder. So Basically, She’s Kind Of A Big Deal In Fashion.

We Sat Down At Her Pristine, White, Midtown New York Showroom On West 33rd Street To Record This Episode. Her Husband, Sean, Was Also There. He Co-owns The Company And Handles All Things Business And Sales While Aimee Focuses On What She Knows Best: Design, Being The Face Of The Brand, And Just About Everything In Between

In This Episode, We Talk About Getting Her Start As A Fashion Designer, What It Took To Grow Her Booming Brand, How She Balances Work And Motherhood, And What’s Next For Her Brand. Without Spoiling Too Much, Here’s A Hint: Baby, Baby, Baby!
