department store Logos and Brands
Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, Harrods, El Corte Inglés, and other long-established retailers embody the department store format in the Department Store section. The concept of the department store, which originated in Paris in the mid-19th century and spread across both sides of the Atlantic, involves selling a wide range of products under one roof. Department store logos carry the legacy of an era when a trip to a large store was an event, and the store’s building became an architectural landmark of the city. The brands in the section manage retail spaces on different floors that house clothing, accessories, cosmetics, home goods, and delicacies, and the store’s sign serves as an umbrella for thousands of brands.
