Minidress with pearl trim
The House of Raymonde had its beginnings in 1935 when a Wellington mother, Rachel Cohen, started making children’s clothes from her family home. Her husband Jacob, and later their three sons Sidney, Gerald and Marcus, also joined her in the business. Sidney studied design and pattern-making in London in the 1940s and on his return started designing fashion garments for his mother's business.
