Prosper and Martine Assouline, publishers of luxury books and gifts.

ASSOULINE is the first luxury brand in the world that has used its publications as medium. For the past ten years, Assouline Publishing has created fine illustrated books, luxury editions and an exquisite gift line dedicated to fashion, photography, art and design.

Renowned for their highly original graphic concept, Assouline books are a work of art that capture culture and brings it to life. The spirit and 'savoir faire' of these works have contributed to the creation of a unique and eclectic, chic and elegant brand that is immediately identifiable. Today, Assouline publications can be found around the globe.

Furthermore, Assouline has designed a highly exclusive line of gift items. This luxury line of special gifts is sold exclusively in select Assouline boutiques and on Assouline.com. In 2003, Assouline opened 'corners' at Bergdorf Goodman (New York), Christie's (New York), Holt Renfrew (Toronto) and Quartier 206 (Berlin).

Late 2004 Assouline opened boutiques in several SAKS FIFTH AVENUE stores throughout the United States. Since then Assouline has opened 'boutique corners' in Hong Kong with Lane Crawford, in Japan with Celux (Louis Vuitton VIP member boutique), in Athens, Greece, in Dubai with Harvey Nichols, and in Montreal, Canada with Librissime. In 2005 Assouline opened its flagship boutique store in Paris.

The next grand opening will take place in May of 2008 when a new Assouline boutique will open in the prestigious, newly renovated New York Plaza Hotel.
