Our Story

Jonathan Rick & Julie Sokolower were married on September 28th 1986. They had bunked up twenty years earlier when each, one summer, attended a little camp in Connecticut. They just never knew it.

Although we were both originally from the East Coast, we met when we both coincidentally moved to Los Angeles during the “84’ Olympics.

I became Rooms Manager at the 5 star L’ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills and Julie worked in a showroom at the California Clothing Mart...

At this time Julie also made a career change of her own taking a job as a flight attendant...

According to Julie, I made a fast following with my innate good taste in clothes...

  While Julie was flying to NY, and elsewhere, business began to grow...

 We have recently modernized our website...

Thank you for shopping with us and being a part of our little comeback story.

Sincerely,

Jon & Julie, Jessica & Dan Rick
