Jeunique International Review and Profile

Jeunique International no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Original Npros business profile for Jeunique International, preserved below for archival purposes:

Jeunique International was a California direct-selling company founded in 1959 by Mulford J. Nobbs. Headquartered in the City of Industry, the privately held company became known primarily for professionally fitted bras, lingerie and sleepwear, while also marketing cosmetics, skincare, nutritional supplements, household products and jewelry. Jeunique developed an international consultant organization and operated for decades as a member of the established direct-selling industry. Nobbs was inducted into the Direct Selling Association Hall of Fame in 2000.

Independent consultants sold Jeunique products through personal appointments, home presentations and direct customer relationships. The company's lingerie business emphasized individual bra fitting, including an unusually broad range of band and cup sizes. Consultants could earn retail profits from personal sales and additional compensation and recognition by recruiting, training and managing sales teams. Jeunique also operated beauty-oriented divisions offering color analysis, skincare and cosmetics, with international branches adapting the product mix to their local markets.

Jeunique filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in June 2004 to reorganize its finances.
