What is Jérôme Dreyfuss?
Jérôme Dreyfuss is a French accessories brand founded in 2002 by the designer of the same name, who was born in Nancy in 1974. The brand's website describes a house of know-how and commitment since 2002, and its range centres on women's bags, small leather goods and shoes.
History
According to French Wikipedia, Dreyfuss moved to Paris at 17 and worked as an assistant to John Galliano. He won the ANDAM prize in 1998 and was named Createur de l'annee in 1999. He launched his brand in 2002 and opened his first Paris boutique in Saint-Germain-des-Pres in 2008. A men's line followed in 2012, shoes in 2013 and a unisex sneaker in 2014. Rachel Chicheportiche led the company from 2004 to 2019, and Dreyfuss has chaired it since 2019.
