They Still Do Hatboxes!

My darling niece reports that had I been hat shopping in Neiman’s, I would have received a hat box for my hat. Not only that, but it appears Neiman’s does just what all the grand old department stores used to do. The box is the correct size for the hat!  Nora Charles would be pleased. There is still a store that knows how to treat lady shoppers!

Still, it remains a fantasy for every woman who loves old movies to go shopping and return with a pile of boxes in the cab. The doorman would then awkwardly stagger to the elevator, unable to see over the stack he carried. Of course, this also means we must shop in hat and gloves and high heels!That little brown cloche would be perfect for an outing like that!
