Leonard, Robert

The Robert Leonard Company was a Massachusetts-based company run by brothers Robert and Richard Baron.
The company specialized in dresses, coats, and suits in a more conservative style.

The company’s business quadrupled in the late 1960s when many women weren’t comfortable wearing the new youthful mini-skirted styles. Diana Adler was the designer in the late 1960s. The Robert Leonard line was carried by high-end stores such as Lord & Taylor and Bonwit Teller.
