Crabtree & Evelyn

In 1971, Harvey met designer Peter Windett in London and started a 25 year working relationship including changing the name to Crabtree & Evelyn.

Over time, many more US and UK locations were added, and new stores also opened in several European countries, Canada, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia.

The company's name, conceived by Harvey and Windett was inspired by the 17th-century renaissance Englishman John Evelyn, who wrote one of the first important works on land conservation.

In 1996, Cyrus Harvey decided to sell the company, and it was sold to Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad and operated by a subsidiary as CE Holdings.

While funded and managed by the holding company in Kuala Lumpur, day-to-day operations—such as research and development, manufacturing, and design—continued to be based in Alpharetta, Georgia.

Late November 2018, it was announced all retail and wholesale operations were to cease to exist worldwide, with the Canada business filing for bankruptcy.
