FACONNABLE

Faconnable is a high-end retailer specializing in tailored mens and womens clothing. The company started humbly as a small custom tailor shop that Jean Goldberg opened in 1950 on Rue Paradis in Nice, France. By 1958 the small tailor shop was making custom tuxedos for Hollywood stars that were in the Cote dAzur for the annual Cannes Film Festival. In 1961 Jean Goldbergs son, Albert, took over the shop and renamed it Faconnable, a variation of the word 'Faconner', which means 'to create'.
