Selling a variety of clothes was once a very unique concept in the late 1800’s. But Joseph and Lyman Bloomingdale were visionary pioneers that took a chance, which is still paying enormous dividends today. It all started with the hoop skirt being sold at their Ladies’ Notion Shop in New York City. Contrary to the specialist boutiques, which were the norm of the time, the brothers began selling an assortment of refined European garments. Soon enough they needed a bigger store and have never stopped growing since. Today you’ll find a wide array of luxurious lifestyle collections for men and women that cater to everything from stylish casual to classy ensembles. ▼
