The stamp "Grands Magasins Aux Galeries Lafayette" on this antique French fabric indicates that it was sold through Galeries Lafayette, a renowned French department store chain established in 1894 by Théophile Bader and Alphonse Kahn. The flagship store, located on Boulevard Haussmann in Paris, is celebrated for its Art Nouveau architecture and iconic glass dome. In the early 20th century, Galeries Lafayette expanded its offerings to include a wide range of products, such as menswear, furniture, toys, and tableware. The store also organized events like the rooftop landing by French pilot Jules Védrines in 1919.
They established their own workshops to produce exclusive clothing and home goods, including fabrics, under private labels. This approach allowed them to offer unique items that were not available elsewhere.
The term "Grands Magasins" translates to "department stores," and "Aux Galeries Lafayette" refers to the specific store. Therefore, the stamp signifies that the fabric was retailed through Galeries Lafayette, which was known for its high-quality merchandise and exclusive products. While the store itself was not a manufacturer, it often collaborated with various producers to create items sold under its brand.

A RARE and wonderful glimpse into history! ~
