Les Parfums de Paquin

Jeanne Paquin was a prominent figure in the world of fashion during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She was one of the first women to gain international renown in the haute couture industry. Paquin's Parisian couture house, located at 3 rue de la Paix, became synonymous with luxury and elegance.

Paquin's success led her to expand her business beyond Paris, including opening a branch in London, which helped solidify her reputation as a leading couturier on an international scale. Additionally, her venture into the realm of perfumery in 1939 added another dimension to her brand.

In 1954, Paquin merged her couture house with the equally prestigious House of Worth, a move that further enhanced both brands' prestige and influence in the fashion world.

However, despite her immense success and contributions to the fashion industry, the couture house of Jeanne Paquin eventually closed its doors in 1962, marking the end of an era in fashion history. Despite its closure, Paquin's legacy as a pioneering couturier and innovator continues to influence the world of fashion to this day.
