While Albert was the brains behind the business, Pearl was the creative genius, churning out beautiful dresses for thousands of working women entering the workforce during that time. The company’s handbags, sunglasses, and fashion accessories were also popular. At its peak in the 1980s, the label Albert Nipon grossed $60 million a year. A tax evasion indictment of Albert adversely affected the brand, which never recovered. Despite the sad demise of the company, Albert Nipon designs remain a colorful favorite with collectors." #AlbertNipon #MaxiCoat #SleeplessinSeattle
