Biography
Murt was born in 1946 as the daughter of the owner of a tannery in Igualada, Barcelona, and belonged to the third generation of a textile industry dynasty in Igualada. At an early age, she used to collect small pieces of leather at the family factory, which she tried to use for creating pieces of clothing. She studied at the Sarrià School of Textile Design.
She married Toni Esteve Enrich, manager of the Esteve Aguilera company, founded in 1924, and incorporated as SA in 1965. After some years, when her kids had grown, she started being involved in the design of products, mainly knitted jerseys.
She created her own designs. The untimely death of her husband Toni in 1984 changed her plans. Her father-in-law decided to appoint her as the company manager.
