To Have & To Hold: 7 Fashion

To Have & To Hold is a series of editions exploring a collection of paper bag ephemera from a bygone era. These once ubiquitous items now provide us with a rare and timely insight into our relatively recent consumer past ranging from the early 1900s to the present day. From the local corner shop to the high street department store, this is a reflection of a more innocent design era. This volume focuses on fashion outlets - among bag designs from high street staples like Dolcis and Chelsea Girl, find examples from sixties boutiques like Dandy, Gear and I Was Lord Kitchener’s Valet. An introductory essay focuses on these swinging sixties destinations, charting their role in transforming the UK.
