Celebrate history and fashion with this elegant set of illustrated note cards that honor the life and work of Mae Reeves, the first Black female business owner in Philadelphia. In collaboration with the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, this set features twelve cards (six unique designs), envelopes, and a foldout pamphlet showcasing Reeves's iconic "showstoppers" from Mae's Millinery Shop. Vibrant flowers, delicate beading, and ornate brooches adorned her hats, making them wearable works of art sought after by famous African American women like Ella Fitzgerald, Eartha Kitt, and Lena Horne. Beyond her influence in fashion, Reeves was a trailblazing business pioneer who empowered and enfranchised her community. This set is a must-have for anyone who appreciates Black history, fashion, and stunning design.
