Welcome to the Bagatelle Museum! We're an on-line museum of shopping bags, exceptional business cards, boxes, and other fun ephemera from global retailers. The collection includes pieces from the 1800s all the way up to the present; from the Ukraine to the U.S.; from the ridiculous to the sublime. We'll be posting something new every few days so be sure to check back in to see what new treasures we've acquired.
Our goal is to celebrate the beauty in the ordinary and the value in the disposable.
We hope you enjoy it and look forward to your comments!
When I arrived in Paris in the summer of '92, virtually every shop was going through some sort of 1950s/rockabilly/American Graffiti-type phase and this store led the pack. As I remember, even the mannequins looked like the cast of Happy Days. Like penny loafers and poodle skirts, this fun little store is no longer.
