Paul Frank
During the 1990s, Paul Frank was an art student at Orange Coast College. He bought a sewing machine in order to complete small projects such as attaching patches to sweaters. One day, he used some spare orange vinyl to create a wallet. After seeing his work, his friends expressed interest in other accessories, so he began to sew items such as guitar straps and backpacks. A few years later, Paul Frank Industries, Inc. formed in order to keep up with the demand for his products. Frank worked during the day, but sewed and sold his products during his spare time. After his friend Ryan Heuser borrowed money ($5000), they obtained a business license and a resale number. Their corporate offices are currently in Orange County, CA. The company's stores are also popular with domestic locations in Southern California, San Francisco, New York City, Dallas, Las Vegas and Chicago. Official web site: www.paulfrank.com
