Lacloche Frères

Lacloche Frères wasd founded by three brothers from Madrid in 1901 in Paris, first as a jewelry shop. By 1912 they had a branch in London on New Bond Street, from which they were able to acquire the inventory of Faberge's London shop after the Russian Revolution caused it to shut and some personel and goods were repatriated. Their production was especially noteworthy in the 1920s when they followed the lead of Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels into luxury accessories, especially the necessaire, including using some of the same suppliers, such as Strauss, Allard & Meyer. The firm was badly impacted by the 1929 crash, and had to cut back branches to only Paris.
