| General info : | | J. Mendel is the brand name used by J. Mendel, Inc., a Delaware corporation regrouping the activities of a fifth-generation French atelier, that has evolved into a global luxury fashion house under the auspices of creative director Gilles Mendel.
Founded in St. Petersburg in the 1870s as furriers to the Russian aristocracy, the house of J. Mendel relocated to Paris’s famed rue Saint-Honoré following the Russian Revolution. Gilles Mendel took the helm as designer and CEO in 1981, having apprenticed in his family’s Paris atelier under his father, Jacques.
Committed to taking his ancestors’ legacy of exceptional quality, savoir faire and uncompromising luxury to a broader stage, Gilles opened his first J. Mendel Boutique at Elizabeth Arden’s Fifth Avenue Salon in New York City. Quickly attracting a devoted clientele, he relocated his collections to a free-standing J. Mendel boutique at 723 Madison Avenue, an uptown landmark since it opened its doors in 1985.
In October, 2013, the company expanded to a larger flagship boutique located at 787 Madison Avenue.
More recently, Gilles Mendel introduced J. Mendel accessories, handbags, and home furnishings. | |
