‘The department store is dying,’ Rosemary Hill wrote recently in the LRB, reviewing an exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris on the origins of the grands magasins. She joins Tom to talk about their 19th and 20th-century heyday as cathedrals of consumerism but as places, too, where women could spend time away from home, and away from men, safely and respectably, whether they were shopping or working there. She also recalls the Christmas she worked in the toy department at Selfridge's, demonstrating wind-up bath toys.
