Description
Red paper bag and twine handles with Mickey Mouse in a sailor outfit on an anchor with water and a ship in the background. The bag reads "Sailor Mickey drops anchor at Macy's!". This is from a joint partnership between the two companies.Macy's (originally R. H. Macy & Co.) is an American department store chain founded in 1858 by Rowland Hussey Macy. In 2006 Marshall Field's stores in Chicago, Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Detroit took the Macy's name, ending the run of Marshall Field's and the then-still freshly renamed Dayton's and Hudson's as unique, upscale Midwestern department store brands. In 2017 Macy's announced that the Dayton's downtown Minneapolis flagship store, re-branded as a Macy's in 2006, would close by the end of the year. Its final day was Sunday, March 19, 2017.
