Founded 90 years ago in New York, Revlon Inc is an internationally renowned cosmetics and perfumery company. Its founders, brothers Charles and Joseph Revson, in collaboration with chemist Charles Lachman, began with the production of multi-color nail enamel. Although this was the time of the Great Depression, the company enjoyed great success – already in 1938 it became a multimillion-dollar corporation.
The corporation expanded, and since 1955, the subsidiaries of Revlon Inc. appeared in Delaware, New Jersey, Arizona, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Florida, California and other states. Also, Revlon branches have appeared in Mexico City, London, Paris, Tokyo and Sydney.
The range of products has expanded incredibly – from manicure products and perfumes, to clothes and even accessories for dolls. Among the thousands of Revlon trademarks, there were six jewellery brands. In particular, Revlon, Little Miss Revlon, Charlie (1992), Unforgettable, Jean Nate and Almay (1993). Noteworthy, all jewelry brands ceased to exist in the early 2000s.
In fact, the company began producing exquisite perfume lockets, perfume bottle brooches in the early 1970s. Very often, such jewelry advertised and promoted brand’s perfumes and cosmetics.
