Echo Design In 1923, Edgar and Theresa Hyman opened Echo Scarfs in New York City, blending together vibrant colors, patterns, and textures to create fashion accessories, bags, beachwear, and home decor. Located just a block away from the original showroom, Echo continues to be inspired by the culture and life of the city. It has held firmly to the notion that one accessory item can transform an outfit, a room, an emotion, or a point of view. For almost a century, Echo has been passionately creating color, pattern, and print designs. And to think, it all started with a scarf.
