Mr. Jean Goldberg gained visibility on the Riviera as his skills were increasingly in demand by would-be actors in need of evening wear during the Cannes Film Festival. It was at this time that his son Mr. A. Goldberg learned the invaluable skill of being a master tailor. After a visit to Brooks Brothers in New York during the 60's, Mr. A. Goldberg was eager to invent his own vision of ready-to-wear menswear. In the late 60's Mr. A. Goldberg took over his father's business and began producing a small ready-to-wear collection for men. Colorful designs, sumptuous fabrics and timeless elegance influenced each Façonnable collection.

Throughout the next three decades, Mr. A. Goldberg expanded Façonnable by establishing boutique locations in key cities of France, Belgium and Spain. Wholesalers throughout Europe were eager to purchase the product which helped to further broaden the distribution for the brand. Through the years, authenticity, instinct, and talent, values at the heart of Façonnable, express elegance without ostentation.

In 1988, merchants from Nordstrom discovered Façonnable during a visit to a Paris trade show. Shortly after this meeting, a joint partnership was forged to provide exclusive distribution of Façonnable throughout the U.S. via Nordstrom retail stores. Beginning in the early 1990's Nordstrom and Façonnable further expanded the brand in the U.S. by opening boutiques in New York, Beverly Hills, and Costa Mesa, California.

In 1995, the first women's line was launched in the U.S. and 4 years after, it appeared in Europe. In the fall of 2000, Nordstrom purchased Façonnable SAS and founder Mr. A Goldberg retired. Acquired by M1 Group in 2007, Façonnable is enjoying a new era that brings with it a long-term vision to increase brand equity. By championing its chic French Côte D'Azur origins and recommitting itself to quality craftsmanship, Façonnable has begun to reap the rewards of the new strategy.
