Angela Frascone Accessories, founded in 1982 specialized in whimsical floral and animal prints in bright fuchsia, green, blues, reds and pinks which were embedded in a patented polymer resin. The microfiber and silk bags were sold at Nordstrom and small boutiques. The moment that put them on the fashion map was their first trade show in Paris in the late 1980s. "What was so interesting was that the American buyers noticed all the European buyers at our booth, and then they began to pay more attention to us. Showing in Paris gave us validity and cachet." |
