OneChicBoutique Donald J Pliner Shoes Boots Bags Hot Trends and Styles.
1943 - Donald J Pliner was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. Born with a 'silver shoehorn' in his mouth, Donald and brother, Elliot, worked as apprentices to their father, Leo, at the family owned Pliner's Florsheim Family Shoe Stores.
1967 - Donald opened his own retail store, Pappagallo Beverly Hills. First-year sales hit almost $1 million.
1971 - Donald rose to retail prominence with the Right Bank Clothing Co. Located on Camden Drive in Beverly Hills, this store quickly became a source for fashion. Three years later, the store became the Right Bank Shoe Co., which served as the first American outlet for European designers like Thierry Mugler, Basile, Castelbajac, Maud Frizon, Stephane Kelian, Arche, Bisonte and Trussardi.
At the same time, Donald opened a second store, The Right Bank Clothing Co. and Tea Room, on Rodeo Drive. Donald continued to innovate, developing a line of RBCC clothing, shoes and accessories. This line generated so much attention, it warranted a wholesale division. This was picked up and represented in specialty and department stores across the country. Meanwhile, the Right Bank Clothing Co. and Tea Room became the place of choice for celebrity meetings.
1984 - Intershoe recruited Donald to head a new line of Spain-produced footwear. He not only designed the collection, but he also directed and conceived the whole operation including sales. The result was the incredibly successful Glacee collection. Within two years, the line was sold nationwide.
1987 - Donald moved into producing fashion-forward shoes for Erica. His design direction dramatically increased sales and new business.
1989 - Donald once again created his own line of footwear and accessories with current company Donald J Pliner.
2004 - Today, he continues to develop an innovative line of luxury comfort footwear, mixing creative energy with ongoing entrepreneurial spirit. The company has expanded to include footwear for men and women, leatherwear for men and women, handbags, hosiery, eyewear and belts.
