Name: Charles Jourdan
Dates: 1883-1976
Nationality: French
Known for: shoes and leather goods
Interesting fact: “The Charles Jourdan boutique was unique. It carried only a very limited range of styles and only one style at a time appeared in the window, which was changed every two days. However, every style was available in every size, three width fittings, and 20 different colors. If a woman needed a shoe in a particular color to match her outfit, she was certain to find it at Jourdan.”
