PHOTOGRAPH (DIGITAL): EXTERIOR OF TATTERS, FROM MILLIE OF TATTERS BOUTIQUE 421 HAY STREET SUBIACO

1986
Overview

From a collection of photographs donated by Millie Phillips during her oral history interview.
Millie captioned each of the images.
'I am pointing to my new overhead sign – marking the official changeover from my shop being called Millie’s Bazaar to Tatters Boutique. When I took over Tatters Boutique (January of 1985) it was situated at 19 Rokeby Road, so rather than moving into their premises I moved Tatters into mine – at 421 Hay Street – a successful melding of two businesses under one roof. So for a year or so the business was called Tatters & Millie’s Bazaar, which proved too confusing and lengthy so I shortened it to Tatters Boutique for the shop and Millie’s for the in-house dress label. The public referred to my business as ‘Millie of Tatters’. (What’s in a name I ask?) Photo taken mid-1986.'
