For over three hundred years, Hudson’s Bay Company has been more than a retailer – it’s a brand Canadians recognize instantly, from the multicoloured stripes of its Point Blanket to The Bay’s ribbon banner. Where Bay men once traded blankets with First Nations trappers for pelts, today the retailer offers the best and brightest of the world’s fashions. The merchandise may be different but the mission is the same: to deliver what is new, exciting and authentic. In these pages more than 200 illustrations trace the history of Hudson’s Bay Company and how it continues to shape tastes and trends today.
