All millinery purchases were packaged in hat boxes
Sewing machines and tableswere made in Germany exclusively for the store.Unfortunately the haberdashery department no longer exists
Old packaging
Vintage spols and sewing kitsLately the window displays at David Jones in Sydney have lost their wow factor but I really loved the recent window display to celebrate Mothers Day and the store's 170th anniversary of trading.
Vintage photos showed the main restaurant where people gathered for afternoon tea,such a shame such a restaurant in the store no longer exists.
Many of the unique touches that made shopping special have gone and like most retailers it's now about cost cutting and competing with other major retailers

hey yeah! i love that old packaging. those hat boxes are gorgeous. when i saw them in the window, i kinda thought (hoped) that they were doing a limited edition nostalgia run. alas...
i liked the "mommy dearest" mannequin they dug up for one of the tableux of the little children and their mother in the drawing room. ;)
Wow I missed this - it looks fantastic. Those hat boxes are a treat.
I agree, the money they're skimping on is for the CEO - he's got a huuuuuge paypacket!
