Vintage Tote Bag
The first business in america to have “& daughters” in its name, russ & daughters’ founder, joel russ, also called his three business partners — his daughters — the “queens of lake sturgeon. ” this nickname, along with the rest of the bag’s idiosyncratic text, would have been handed over to a local “jobbing” printer. At this time, printing and graphic design were a single activity — wooden type blocks would be mixed-and-matched according to what was on hand. The lockup would then be inked and printed in a platen letterpress. These paper shopping bags had not been seen since the 1960s until one was recently exhumed by writer, humorist, and beloved russ & daughters regular, calvin trillin — who generously returned it back to the store 50 years after it was used. The rare artifact from the store’s history now hangs on a wall at russ & daughters cafe. And it was adapted for the paper shopping bags we use at all of our locations again. This shopping bag is reprinted according to the original wooden type letterpress technique that was employed in the 1940s. Each print is inked by hand and is entirely unique. This sturdy fabric bag is made by baggu, and printed by hand by keegan cooke. (no returns or exchanges. ).

The House That Herring Built
Russ & daughters; reflections and recipes from the house that herring built by mark russ federman; foreword by calvin trillin. The former owner/proprietor of the beloved appetizing store on manhattan’s lower east side tells the delightful, mouthwatering story of an immigrant family’s journey from a pushcart in 1907 to “new york’s most hallowed shrine to the miracle of caviar, smoked salmon, ethereal herring, and silken chopped liver” (the new york times magazine). When joel russ started peddling herring from a barrel shortly after his arrival in america from poland, he could not have imagined that he was giving birth to a gastronomic legend. Here is the story of this “louvre of lox” (the sunday times, london); its humble beginnings, the struggle to keep it going during the great depression, the food rationing of world war ii, the passing of the torch to the next generation as the flight from the lower east side was beginning, the heartbreaking years of neighborhood blight, and the almost miraculous renaissance of an area from which hundreds of other family-owned stores had fled. Filled with delightful anecdotes about how a ferociously hardworking family turned a passion for selling perfectly smoked and pickled fish into an institution with a devoted national clientele, mark russ federman’s reminiscences combine a heartwarming and triumphant immigrant saga with a panoramic history of twentieth-century new york, a meditation on the creation and selling of gourmet food by a family that has mastered this art, and an enchanting behind-the-scenes look at four generations of the russ & daughters family. (shocken books, random house) no returns or exchanges.

The first business in america to have “& Daughters” in its name, Russ & Daughters’ founder, Joel Russ, also humorously dubbed his three business partners – his daughters – the “Queens of Lake Sturgeon. ” this nickname, along with the rest of the shopping bag’s idiosyncratic text, would have been given to a local printer. At this time, printing and graphic design were a single activity — wooden type blocks would be mixed-and-matched according to what was on hand.
