1960s Switzer's Box
IE LMOD 346 · Stuk · Twentieth Century

Cardboard box with dark blue/navy and white stripes with Switzer's logo 'Switzer and Co Ltd Dublin'. Delivery information in the top right corner. Seams are stapled together.

Grafton Street was anchored by Switzer’s and Brown Thomas department stores. Switzer’s was the less elite of the two – many customers never crossed the street to shop in Brown Thomas. The basement café was an old-fashioned parlour with waitresses in black dresses and white aprons. Switzer’s was bought by Brown Thomas in 1995; BTs moved into the Switzer’s building across the street. You can still see the Switzer’s logo on the Wicklow Street side of Brown Thomas.
