History Of Paul Frank

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Paul Frank is known for their colourful apparel and accessories and their family of Paul Frank characters that are featured on them.  Paul Frank began in the 1990’s when he was an art student living in California.  Whilst he was at college, Paul Frank would use vinyl off cuts to make wallets with basic creatures on them.  When he started  giving the wallets to his close friends as gifts, his friends loved them and especially the monkey character called Julius who featured on most of the designs.  This inspired Paul Frank to begin producing a range of accessories and clothing.

Now Paul Frank is a major brand name with worldwide distribution.  Julius has now been joined by a full range of Paul Frank characters that include Ellie the Elephant, Aku the Crocodile and the Cosy Molars.  The expansion of the Paul Frank Industries brand has grown to include Paul Frank pyjamas, clocks, underwear and their range of t-shirts.
