Just found my first 80‘s reference!!! “Big Barbara sat on one end of the great soft sofa, going through a Hammacher Schlemmer catalog, turning down pages for Leigh to examine particularly.” Hammacher Schlemmer #goodmemories #PreSharperImage 🙌🏻 #HELLoWeen #80sParty

Cinfhen I never went to the flagship store @squirrelbrain but I totally remember the catalogs and our local upscale shopping center had a store. It was right next to Benetton 🧡💜💙💚❤️ 6y
