Seven years ago, designer Paul Frank sat on a sewing machine and used red sterile artificial Leather created a big-mouthed monkey named Julius.

A popular accessory company that generates millions of dollars in sales. The image of Julius the Big-mouthed Monkey is very attractive to the younger generation, and the products are very popular around the world. Movies like "Kingsman/Episodes 2-3", "American Pie/Episodes 1-2", "Fake Dad", and "Hot Girl". MTV, E!, Dharma and Greg, Mad TV, Ally McBeal in TV. Its traces can be found in thematic popular magazines such as Seventeen, Vogue, InStyle, Glamor, W, etc.
Paul Frank does these things very well! However, what really makes them look so special is that they are made from a material that is rarely seen these days – Vinyl. Vinyl is not only as durable as leather, but it is not obtained from animals, not to mention, it looks better than leather! What a perfect gift for Paul's original design concept! In addition to accessories, the company branched out into sports and leisure apparel in 1999, developing a series of sportswear with youth as the theme and distinctive patterns. Recent additions include collections of lingerie, travelwear, sleepwear, furniture and sunglasses.
"Paul Frank is your friend" has always been the refreshing spiritual slogan of the product! Paul Frank, now 35 years old, leaves his signature on the products; special colors and handwork, presenting products that people can't put down. Like the early days when he was making guitar straps for the band and helping the company design a series of peripheral products, he still loves the Singer sewing machine that accompanied his success.
With the success of the big-mouthed monkey Julius in the market, Paul Frank created more animal-related cartoon characters. First, the giraffe Clancy joined the ranks, and the polar bear Issac was well-named. Skurvy also uses his skills to create a very cute impression on the skull.
Paul Frank used a sewing machine to make a gift for his friend Ryan Heuser. Ryan, who was originally handling corporate relations at Mossimo Company, changed his mind and chose to work in New York because of Paul Frank's gift. Porter Shores' own parking garage launched an unsuspecting future venture for $5,000.
"I trust Paul" - Ryan Heuser, 29, chairman and co-founder. "I knew he had real talent and I knew I could make his invention marketable," so he left the company he founded with his friend John Oswald, now 35, in 1997.
It was founded in 1997. At the beginning, it was only in relatively special image stores, such as X-Large Store. Paul Frank products can now be found in more than a thousand stores around the world, including large department stores such as Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, Urban Outfitters, Kitson and other major department stores in the United States, Colette in France, Harrods in London and Beams in Japan. Authorized exclusive agents include Japan, Canada, Europe, Taiwan and Australia. In order to enhance the conscious image of the trademark, eight image flagship stores were expanded in Los Angeles, Newport Coast, San Francisco, New York, London, Tokyo, Osaka and Ginza.
