In addition to catalogs, there was special holiday packaging to celebrate the season. No one designed more creative boxes than Joseph Magnin. They were so charming that customers sometimes bought a gift just to get the box, which could be any shape. 1966 featured Joe Hong’s Renaissance series: tower- and architectural-shaped boxes. Marget Larsen was another key figure who designed packaging and ads during that decade. JM gift boxes elicit a lot of memories for customers who shopped there in the 1960s. Merry, Merry.
Love! The toy section in the NM catalog in the 90s was my favorite.
They also had their own line of items, NM costumes for kids. It was really detailed and high quality. I had the waitress and a 50's girl, aka poodle skirt. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
My dad used to work in retail real estate and I remember oggling at the Neiman Marcus catalogs in the 70s and early 80s. I definitely recall the scotch- and bourbon-flavored toothpaste 😝
