Lucille de Paris is a brand and maker that specialized in
manufacturing luxury handbags from alligator and other exotic skins in
1950s-1960s. They were located in New York (30 east 33rd street) and
advertised in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar fashion magazines. I need to
find any available info and details, such as: the company name, date
it was founded, years in operation, names of founders, any available
info pertaining to the business, operation, products, advertisements,
etc.

Clarification of Question by lavintage-ga on 10 Sep 2004 18:19 PDT

P.S. Please confirm the time frame for answering specific questions
like mine. I need to know when to expect the answer and what to change
in my post, if it's posted incorrectly, to have the question answered.

Regarding the "time frame," your question will be active until October
9th. The amount of research that is likely to be required may be
considerable, and much of the research may have to be done offline
(which necessitates traveling to libraries and other non-Internet
sources). You may want to raise your price to make the question more
attractive to Researchers.

pinkfreud-ga,
Thank you for the comment. I'm ready to raise the price. However, your
rates are between $2.00 and $200.00 and it is difficult to determine
what kind of raise you have in mind, considering that our offer is
$25.00. Any suggestions?

pinkfreud-ga,

Please respond if you're interested in researching 5 manufacturers of
the '40s-'60s for $200. I have the exact names of the companies and
their New York addresses from the '50s. Since they were in the same
business at the same time, they should be mentioned in the same
sources.

I need this information ASAP. Will tip handsomely, if the job is done
well. Also, since the info will be used in a copyright publication,
please let me know if it is possible to forward the answers directly
to my email address, not to post them on this board for public
viewing.

Will really appreciate your prompt response whether you're interested
in this project or not. If not, I will look for other options. It is a
fairly urgent project.

Thank you for your time and effort and looking forward to your response!

lavintage,

I am not the right Researcher for this sort of question. I suspect
that your question will be best handled by someone who lives in or
near New York City, or someone who has access to extensive offline
resources. My post above was for informative purposes, and I did not
mean to imply that I was actively researching your question.
