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

« Prev Item Next Item »

1999

Overview

From a collection of photographs donated by Millie Phillips during her oral history interview.
Millie captioned each of the images.
'Final months of Tatters when I was trying to sell the business as I had no body to pass it on to. After 18 years of running it on my own (one year in Victoria Park where I originally started Millie’s Bazaar I was too exhausted to go on. The problem was that no one was willing to take it over as everyone said that Millie and Tatters had become synonymous. So I had to close it down. I cried for months. It now lives on the Subiaco Museum, which I regard as a real honour. Photo taken May 1999.'
