Inspired by vintage photography within HBC’s collection, these reusable 100% unbleached natural cotton totes capture the grandeur of Hudson’s Bay stores in cities across Canada. Throughout the decades, these buildings have become landmark destinations and distinguished architectural highlights within their respective cityscapes.
Capturing a rich retail history, Morgan's legacy began with Henry Morgan in the mid-19th century. Upon establishing its doors on Ste. Catherine Street in 1891, it was notable for its top-floor factories which crafted custom goods, setting it apart from peers like Hudson's Bay Company. The 1920s ushered in significant expansion with an additional eight storeys and expansive display windows. By 1960, HBC acquired Morgan's, and the design on this tote illustrates the transformation, prominently featuring the iconic Ribbon B "The Bay" logo from its 1965 rebranding.
HBC HISTORY FOUNDATION
100% of proceeds from the sale of this Heritage Tote support Hudson’s Bay Company History Foundation (HBCHF). HBCHF was established after HBC donated its corporate records and other documents to the Archives of Manitoba, and its collection of artifacts to The Manitoba Museum. The Foundation is committed to funding the continued preservation, promotion and public access to both collections in perpetuity, as well as providing support to Canada’s National History Society and other impactful historical projects. Today, HBCHF’s mandate is to advance the knowledge of and interest in HBC’s role in history, and to contribute to Canada’s narrative with accurate inclusion and representation of Indigenous cultures, knowledge, and contributions. Recognizing HBC’s role in the colonization of Canada, HBCHF works to advance reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples and communities. To learn more, visit hbcheritage.ca.
