Biografija:

Revillon Frères, also known as Revillon Brothers, was a French fur and luxury goods company founded in Paris in 1723. It was purchased by Louis-Victor Revillon in 1839 and became the largest fur company in France. The company had branches in London in 1869 and in New York in 1878. Revillon Frères had stores in Paris, London, New York City, and Montreal, and bought most of its furs from the markets of Moscow, Leipzig, and the annual fairs in Nizhny Novgorod and Irbit. The company opened fur trading posts in Siberia, Mongolia, and Turkestan from 1908-1909. By 1912, Revillon Frères had 125 fur trading posts in America and Siberia. In the 1960s, the company acquired Grauer Furs, New York's preeminent fur manufacturing company. In 1982, Revillon was acquired by Cora, a hypermarket operator, and became its luxury division Cora-Revillon. Subsequently, Cora-Revillon became a separate company, now privately owned, with Revillon as its primary brand. Besides furs, Revillon produces perfume.
