@rangerric you are wonderful!!! Thank you so much. I searched for weeks on end trying to find anything about this I could. 💖🙏🏼✨
rangerric
@raytchell Marcel Boucher designed most of the early pieces... and considered their head designer...
raytchell
@rangerric that’s awesome! I wonder now which Avon owns Tiffany?!? I thought it was very strange that the American Avon could even be related
rangerric
@raytchell Tiffany & Co is now owned by the European Group "LVMH" (Louis Vuitton, Dior and many others)
raytchell
@rangerric very interesting. I just read an article about Avon owning them. Tg. Lol
rangerric
@raytchell That's an old reference... Avon bought Tiffany in 1980, and resold to LV in 1984... likely made a big profit... The list of brands owned by LV is impressive...
raytchell
@rangerric and to think Tiffany has always been Tiffany’s to me 💖✨
rangerric
@raytchell Still is... LVMH uses a "Hands Off" management style... they share resources and financial clout... but manage independently (mostly) Check LVMH on Wikipedia for more
