In 1966, Francisco “Paco” Rabaneda Cuervo established his French fashion house to begin producing his elegant clothing designs. He got his start by first designed jewelry for other fashion houses until he eventually began to design clothing. The brand soon began to produce fragrances in 1969. The first scent was a women’s perfume that set the stage for a series of innovative and original perfumes and colognes for the brand. The company continued to design clothing, and it gained a reputation for creatively and stylishly using unconventional materials including paper and metal.
