OrotonGroup Limited Company Summary |
OrotonGroup Limited (ASX:ORL) was founded in 1938 in Sydney, Australia by a gentleman called Boyd Lane. Made up of the words, "oro" meaning gold in Latin and "ton" to imply a tonne of gold or fortune, Oroton strives to create innovative and beautiful designs with a focus on relaxed luxury and timeless style.
Originally set up as a textile designer and importer of fabrics from Japan, the first cult Oroton product emerged in 1951 with a gold metallic mesh compact or "powder puff" for women. The mesh material had never been used in a modern beauty or fashion product before. To many it was a protective coat of armour - but our Oroton designers saw the beauty behind the application and applied this material to the first Oroton product.... and many many evening bags over the decades to follow.
Today, Oroton sells a wide range of products for men and women across bags and small leather accessories, jewellery, ties, umbrellas, knitwear, lingerie, men's underwear and shoes. Oroton is sold in Oroton boutiques and departments across Australia and New Zealand and in selected boutiques and department stores worldwide and online at www.oroton.com
