Hattie Carnegie was born Henrietta Kanengeiser in Vienna, Austria, in 1889. She immigrated with her family to the United States when she was a teenager. She went to work for Macy?s and at some point changed her name to Hattie Carnegie. ?Carnegie? because she admired Andrew Carnegie, the richest man in America at the time. ?Hattie? because that was her nickname when she worked in Macy?s hat department or because she thought it sounded more ?upscale? than ?Henrietta.?In 1909, she opened her first shop with her friend, Ruth Roth, a seamstress who made garments while Hattie designed hats. The shop was wildly successful and expanded into a chain of shops across the country. In 1918, Hattie founded Hattie Carnegie, Inc. for her full-scale clothing line, and in 1939, began offering ?cocktail jewelry? (as costume jewelry was then known), brooches, necklaces, bracelets and earrings that put the finishing touches on Hattie?s fashions. But her jewelry became popular on its own. Hollywood stars and New York socialites clamored after her jewelry and other American ladies followed along.Hattie died in 1956. Her husband took over the business for a while, but wasn?t suited to it, so Larry Josephs bought him out and kept the Hattie Carnegie brand from the mid-1960s to 1976, when the company was acquired by Chromology American Corporation.
