Babe

Tedd Hall opened this women’s boutique on 52nd Street in 1972. He was 33 years old, and the Strip was a Black mecca. Almost all of those businesses are gone now. Babe is still here. At 87, Hall still shows up. He still buys inventory, deconstructed pieces from Croatia, handmade leather trenches from Hungary, furs, dresses, gowns, hosiery, sunglasses, business suits. Nothing you’ll see on anyone else, because Hall made a decision a long time ago: exclusivity is not for rich white people. It’s for everyone who demands quality.
