About Chinese Laundry
Cels Enterprises, Inc., founded in 1971 by Robert and Carol Goldman, is a privately held woman's footwear company with headquarters in Los Angeles, California. From its beginnings as a shoe manufacturer selling to mass merchants, Cels Enterprises, Inc. has steadily expanded its influence in the fashion footwear industry. Consumer research and creative insight have led to the development of seven branded divisions within the Chinese Laundry family:
CHINESE LAUNDRY launched in 1981 with a collection of fashion forward footwear targeted to the young women’s market. For its remarkable ability to deliver on lifestyle and lead with trend, Chinese Laundry has attracted the attention of a growing number of stars and celebrities, including Paris Hilton, Hilary Duff, Teri Hatcher, Courteney Cox, Kelly Clarkson, and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Chinese Laundry has carved a niche for itself in today’s competitive market and is available in better department and specialty stores as well as boutiques nationwide.
CL BY LAUNDRY is a recent addition to the Chinese Laundry family, debuting in 2003. This is a value-based brand, priced for the discriminating customer who’s looking for the newest and hottest trends. Available in specialty stores nationwide.
