Label Text:Hattie Carnegie was a savvy businesswoman, and her ability to adapt European style to the sensibilities of American consumers made her an established tastemaker associated with sophistication and propriety. Like Parisian couture houses, which offered original accessories to complement their designs at the Carnegie salon, customers accessorized their day and evening ensembles with hats, gloves, costume jewelry, and even cosmetics—all under the Hattie Carnegie label.
