Claude Riha - Anyone Know Anything About Please?

[Julia Jones]

Does anyone know anything about a designer 1930s-1950s called Claude Riha from Cannes France? I have a lovely dress that I'm not sure of the provenance of. Thanks Julia x

Hi Julia,

Can you post some pics of the item and the label. It might help to see it to help id it.

I have a CLaude Riha from the late 60s and I did find a tiny bit of info on him once a long time ago when I was researching for the 60s book. I believe he opened in the early 50s and was a boutique for wealthy vacationers in the French Riviera. I know I have notes on him somewhere but there wasn't much more info than what I just wrote.

Thanks Jonathan

That's quite interesting isn't it - there are hardly any items of his for sale online - this seems a great resource for info I'm hooked already.

Thanks for your response.
Julia
