Genesis of Philipp Plein

The journey of Philipp Plein began in 1998 when German designer Philipp Plein decided to craft luxury interiors. Who would have thought that a venture into designing luxury dog beds would metamorphose into a global luxury fashion brand? By 2004, with innovation and audacity at its helm, Philipp Plein showcased its debut collection at the German Fashion Week, marking its flamboyant entry into the apparel sector.
