It was bought by Louis-Victor Revillon in 1839 and successfully developed with the establishment of new fur shops in London, New York and Montreal in the 1860s. Their success encouraged the creation of a profitable fur industry in Europe and North America. At the beginning of the 20th century, French fashion designers such as Madame Isidore Paquin and Paul Poiret introduced stylish fur clothing in their regular fashion collections.
