Just found this pad — how old can it be?

Found this in our 72-year old store at University Place yesterday. I still can’t over the 2-letter, 5-digit phone number! According to Wikipedia these were adopted starting in the 1930s, but it’s hard to imagine an era when those were enough numbers for New York City. We’re certainly come a long way since whenever this [...]

Interesting wedding dress label… what materials burst into flames when washed?

. . Just saw this bizarre wedding gown care label. Another member of the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists forwarded it to me this morning. I’ve heard of materials that are combustable when machine-dried before, but gowns exploding in the wash is a new one for me! Remember… care labels are required by the FTC, [...]

Get the Ugg out — spring cleaning for your Uggs

Yes, it’s that time again. Spring is in the air. The birds are chirping, the trees are blossuming, and it’s finally too warm outside to wear your Uggs any longer. Don’t put those shearling booties away, just yet, though. Chances are this winter they were exposed to some of the worst NYC has to offer [...]
