Hannaux, Alexandria wrapping paper - memories of shopping with my mother
Hannaux was probably the most prestigious Department Store in
Alexandria. I used to go shopping there with my mother.
Is this the only sample left in the world, dating from the 1940s?
It lines the drawer of the desk given to me by Harold Buckland, an
Australian Airman we met at Sidi Bishr. He was an architect and
designed this desk and the pencil/pen supports to go with it. I use
them every day!
