Cool/warm spring outfit in mixed style of 1960s & 1950s with leopard print & real vintage beanie hat by "PUB"
This unusual hat comes from the famous Swedish department store "PUB" (not related to the English drinking establishment!), but named after the initials of its founder, Paul U. Bergström. In this department store in 1917, the Russian revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin bought a suit, and in 1920, the future Hollywood star Greta Garbo started working as a seller. It can be said that Greta Garbo first became interested in cinema there, for while working at PUB, she starred in several commercials for a department store. For example, one of the clips, lasting no more than 14 seconds, filmed in 1920, shows a fifteen-year-old Greta Gustafsson (Garbo) in the form of a fashion model who tries on and shows a coat (here you can see the video ). Unfortunately, department store "PUB" no longer exists. It remains to wonder what path my hat has traveled before it came to me, from distant Stockholm to a vintage store in one of the sunny southern Spanish cities. It's funny ...
