What other blogs have to say

Most of the blogs that i read about faconnable were about announcement about the company, i wish i found somebody 's opinion about the brand. There was one of them that caught my attention though, and it was about the remodeling of one of its store, Costa Mesa in California. There is the URL: http://secondcitystyle.typepad.com/second_city_style/2009/07/retail-deatil-faconnable-plans-new-concept-for-costa-mesa-store-.html
There is a picture of what the store look like before, and it was already incredible. That picture really represent the best of luxury store. The blog is describing how the store is going to look like:
"According to the company's reps, the materials planned to revamp all the stores will include chevron-patterned unfinished white oak floors, honey colored oak paneling, limestone and millwork inspired by the furniture of Jean Michel Frank, a renowned French decorator from the Thirties."

On another subject, there is another blog where it is explained how Faconnable created system of sizing that correspond for both men and women. There is the URL: http://stylebinge.ocregister.com/tag/faconnable/
I think that this system is really convenient; the sizes go from 0 to 11 where each number correspond as a size for both men and women. It is also saying that women will need alteration for some items. It really make the shopping experience easier for the customer as well as the salesperson.

Faconnable, what is not on the company website.

In 2007, the New York Post announced that Nordstrom, prior owner of the brand, was selling Faconnable to a Libanese Investment group. According to the newspaper, the french brand had a hard time expanding the chain and never really gained a large scale recognition in the U.S. But what the newspaper did not see is that the deal gave the brand the opportunity to expand on its own.

They hired a new man to manage the brand; nothing less than the former vice chairman of Ralph Lauren Lance Isham. The expansion of the brand was noticed especially for items like luxury watches; I found a lot of blogs and articles in favor of them. Nowdays, Faconnable has stores in seven cities around the U.S and an outlet in Orlando.

The company is still growing in the luxury business in the U.S but also around the world. It has a store here in Atlanta at lenox square. Most of the blog are in admiration of the color and craftmanship of the products. But it is true that there is room for expansion; I have never heard of the company before the last couple of weeks. That is what made me want to research about it.

Faconnable

Faconnable is a French clothing company who made its marks in the American market.  They provide clothes for the business casual or business dressy men and women. The products are modern, classy and trendy. Faconnable is available online and in retail at the most popular mall of the city. The prices are high but Faconnable makes products of quality. 
The brand was created in 1961 by Albert Goldberg when he took over his father tailor shop. It is inspired by the colors of the Mediterrean and is made with fine fabrics. It became a luxurious company of clothing over the years.  It came in United States in 1988 with an agreement with Nordstrom. In 1993, the brand opened its first boutiques in the U.S, in New York. But the making of the products remain in the South of France.        
The first boutique in Paris was 1984, before that time it was only in the south of France.  Although one of my favorite brands and a very popular brand in France, it was quite difficult finding information on this company because it is a subsidiary of Nordstrom and information are included under that brand.
