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.
Interesting!! I have never heard of this company before either...nice to learn something new!
