History: Carroll & Co started in 1948 and was known as a high-end, conservative style for politicians, professionals & celebrities. It was the first contemporary men’s store in Beverly Hills when it wasn’t really an American look to be dressed up. They set the stage for the new sportswear look in that era. Anybody that you can think of who has a long history in Hollywood, one way or another, they have worn something from Carroll.
