Ganterie Boon: sedert = since 1884

Abstract

"Ganterie Boon is a household name in Antwerp and beyond. The history of this extraordinary glove shop dates back to 1884. Today, it is one of a few places where you can still buy handmade gloves in a beautifully preserved (and listed) authentic Art Deco shop from 1929. This book tells you more about the superb shop premises and the glove-selling profession, but also about the changes in the fashion and retail landscape in 20th-century Antwerp, the background against which this story is set. You will also learn more about Arthur Boon's successors: today a new generation of the enterprising family that took over from Mr Boon's wife has stepped up to safeguard the future of the extraordinary heritage gem that is Ganterie Boon." -- Provided by publisher.
