Jolles was a luxury brand in the mid twentieth century. Her purses sold in high end stores, and are collectors’ items currently. But Ida Jolles, the woman, is much more interesting than Jolles the brand.
In an era when women did not lead businesses, she built a company
that employed over 20,000 craft women workers and controlled 90% of a global market.
