A Rush of Nostalgia for New York's Bonwit Teller Department Store
Have you seen this vintage shopping bag design from New York’s Bonwit Teller department store, the establishment located until 1990 at Fifth Avenue and 56th street?
An item featuring the above photo is currently the most popular artifact at the Bagatelle Museum, an online collection curated by lifelong shopping bag and box collector Courtney Lichterman.

Lichterman revamped the Bagatelle site last fall but has only recently, in the past few months, begun to actively promote the blog.
