'''Neiman Marcus''' is an American [[department store]] chain founded in 1907 in [[Dallas]], [[Texas]] by [[Herbert Marcus]], his sister [[Carrie Marcus Neiman]], and her husband [[Abraham Lincoln Neiman]]. It has been owned by [[Saks Global]], a [[Corporate spin-off|spin-off]] of the [[Hudson's Bay Company]], since 2024.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Dean |first1=Jake |date=9 June 2022 |title=Neiman Marcus Group closes $200M investment by Farfetch |url=https://www.bizjournals.com/pacific/bizwomen/news/latest-news/2022/06/neiman-marcus-retail-investment-farfetch-limited.html |publisher=bizjournals.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=IV |first=Antonio Pequeño |title=Saks Global Inks $2.7 Billion Acquisition Of Neiman Marcus In Amazon-Backed Deal |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2024/12/23/saks-global-inks-27-billion-acquisition-of-neiman-marcus-in-amazon-backed-deal/ |access-date=2024-12-25 |website=[[Forbes]] |language=en}}</ref>

== History ==

=== 1907&ndash;1949 ===
[[File:Neiman Marcus (original store 1907-1913), SE corner Elm at Murphy, Dallas, 1913.png|thumb|left|Neiman Marcus original store 1907–1913 at Elm and Murphy]]
[[Herbert Marcus]] Sr., a former buyer with Dallas' [[Sanger Brothers]] department store, had left his previous job to found a new business with his sister [[Carrie Marcus Neiman]] and her husband, [[Abraham Lincoln Neiman]], then employees of Sanger Brothers competitor [[A. Harris and Co.]] In 1907, the trio had {{US$|25000}} ({{Inflation|US|25000|1907|fmt=eq}}) from the successful sales-promotion firm they had built in [[Atlanta, Georgia]], and two potential investments of funds. Rather than take a chance on an unknown "sugary soda pop business," the three entrepreneurs rejected the fledgling [[The Coca-Cola Company|Coca-Cola company]]<ref name="HandbookALN">{{Handbook of Texas|id=fne32|name=Neiman, Abraham Lincoln}}</ref> and chose instead to return to Dallas to establish a retail business. For this reason, early company CEO Peb Atera was quoted in 1957 as saying in jest that Neiman Marcus was "founded on bad business judgment."{{r|Schack}} The store, established on September 10, 1907, was lavishly furnished and stocked with clothing of a quality not commonly found in Texas. Within a few weeks, the store's initial inventory, mostly acquired on a buying trip to New York made by Carrie, was completely sold out. Oil-rich Texans, welcoming the opportunity to flaunt their wealth in more sophisticated fashion than was previously possible, flocked to the new store. In spite of the [[Panic of 1907]] set off only a few weeks after its opening, Neiman Marcus was instantly successful, and its first several years of operation were quite profitable.<ref name="fundinguniverse.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/The-Neiman-Marcus-Group-Inc-Company-History.html |title=History of The Neiman Marcus Group, Inc. – FundingUniverse |publisher=Fundinguniverse.com |access-date=December 10, 2012}}</ref>

In 1914, a fire destroyed the Neiman Marcus store and all of its merchandise. A temporary store was opened for 17 days.<ref name="nmoverview">[http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/service/company_overview.jhtml;jsessionid=MJTBGRZOT1KBECQAAKHRABY Historical timeline], from Neiman Marcus Online</ref> By the end of 1914, Neiman Marcus opened at its new, permanent location at the corner of Main Street and Ervay Street. With the opening of the flagship [[Neiman Marcus Building]], the store increased its product selection to include accessories, [[lingerie]], and children's clothing, as well as expanding the women's apparel department. In its first year at the new building, Neiman Marcus recorded a profit of $40,000 on sales of $700,000, nearly twice the totals reached in its last year at the original location.<ref name="fundinguniverse.com"/>

In 1927, the store expanded, and Neiman Marcus premiered the first weekly retail fashion show in the United States.<ref name="timeline">[http://www.texasmonthly.com/2002-03-01/webextra5.php Stanley Marcus Timeline] ''Texas Monthly'', March 2002</ref> The store staged a show called "One Hundred Years of Texas Fashions" in 1936 in honor of the [[centennial]] of [[San Jacinto Day|Texas's independence from Mexico]]. A later profile of the store, "Neiman Marcus of Texas", described the "grandiose and elaborate" gala, noting: "It was on this occasion that one of the most critical among the store's guests, Mrs. Edna Woolman Chase, editor of ''[[Vogue (magazine)|Vogue]]'', expressing the sentiment of the store's starry-eyed clientele, told the local press:{{r|Schack}}

{{blockquote|I dreamed all my life of the perfect store for women. Then I saw Neiman Marcus, and my dream had come true.|Edna Woolman Chase, editor of ''Vogue'' (1936)|quoted in ''Commentary'' 1957}}

In 1929, the store began offering menswear. During the 1930s and 1940s, Neiman Marcus began to include less-expensive clothing lines along with its high-end items, in response to the [[Great Depression]] and following war years. Between 1942 and 1944, sales at Neiman Marcus grew from $6 million to $11 million.<ref name="fundinguniverse.com"/> Despite a major fire in 1946, the store continued to profit.

===1950&ndash;1999===
Herbert Marcus Sr. died in 1950, and Carrie Neiman died two years later, leaving [[Stanley Marcus]] in charge of the company's operations.<ref name="fundinguniverse.com"/><ref>{{cite magazine| url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,890689,00.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081222135259/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,890689,00.html | archive-date=December 22, 2008 | magazine=Time | title=FASHIONS: Mr. Stanley Knows Best | date=September 21, 1953}}</ref>

The 1950s saw the addition of a $1.6 million store at 8300 [[Preston Road]] in the [[Preston Center]]; the location been occupied by a Tootsies store since the 1990s.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Clark |first=Caitlin |date=2021-12-10 |title=After Surviving a Pandemic and Winter Storm Uri, Tootsies is Back in Dallas — And Better Than Ever |url=https://www.papercitymag.com/fashion/shopping/dallas-tootsies-remodel-reopening/ |access-date=2023-06-07 |website=PaperCity Magazine |language=en-US}}</ref> It was a {{convert|63,000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} store "inspired by the art and culture of Southwestern Indians" and "colors ... copied from Indian weaving, pottery, and sand paintings". The themed decor included [[Kachina doll|Kachina figures]] on colored-glass murals and an [[Alexander Calder]] [[Mobile (sculpture)|mobile]] named "Mariposa,"<ref name=tolbert53>[[Frank X. Tolbert]]. ''Neiman-Marcus, Texas'', New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1953, page 5.</ref> the Spanish word for butterfly. Art likewise was used as inspiration for Stanley Marcus' seasonal campaigns to solicit new colors in fabrics, as he did the year that he borrowed 20 [[Paul Gauguin]] paintings — many of which had never been publicly exhibited — from collectors around the world and had the vivid colors translated into dyes for wool, silk, and leather. Area teachers cited the Gauguin exhibits as spurring a dramatic increase in art study.<ref name="tolbert-11">Tolbert, 1953, page 11.</ref>

In the 1950s and 1960s, [[Gittings Studios|Gittings]] operated a portrait studio in Neiman Marcus. Clients included [[Hope Portocarrero]], [[Lyndon Johnson]], [[Howard Hughes]], and the [[Pahlavi dynasty|Shah of Iran]], [[Mohammad Reza Pahlavi]] and his family. A late 1960s Christmas Book featured portraits of [[Wyatt Cooper]], his wife [[Gloria Vanderbilt]], and children Carter and [[Anderson Cooper]].

The company continued its extravagant marketing efforts (including the launch of His and Her gifts in the famous Christmas Book) with the inauguration of Fortnight in 1957. The Fortnight was an annual presentation of fashions and culture from a particular country, held in late October and early November of each year, and was one of the most anticipated events in Dallas. It brought fashion, dignitaries, celebrities, exotic food and extravagant celebrations to the downtown store for 29 years.<ref name="fundinguniverse.com"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://smu.edu/newsinfo/excerpts/fortnight-annotations-spring2007.asp |title=Neiman Marcus Fortnight - News and Communications - SMU |publisher=Smu.edu |date=October 21, 2007 |access-date=December 10, 2012}}</ref>

In 1955, Neiman Marcus acquired Ben Wolfman, Inc. which operated a 9-story store, The Fashion, in [[Downtown Houston]]. Wolfman stayed on to run the store, which became branch of Neiman Marcus,<ref>{{cite news |title=Merger Puts Neiman's In Houston Spot |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-austin-american-merger-puts-neimans/135003951/ |access-date=11 November 2023 |work=The Austin American |date=17 June 1955 |page=19}}</ref> the first store outside the [[Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex]]. The freestanding store was later replaced with a new anchor store located in the [[Houston Galleria]] in 1970. In 1965 the Preston Center store was closed and a new store, more than twice as big, was opened at NorthPark Center. Another branch in Fort Worth was also opened. By 1967 the four Neiman Marcus stores in operation were generating annual sales of $58.5 million, and the company's profit for that year was in excess of $2 million.<ref name="fundinguniverse.com"/>  In 1968, the company merged with Broadway-Hale Stores, Inc., which enabled Neiman Marcus to expand at a much faster pace than would have been possible as an independent entity. In 1971, the first Neiman Marcus outside Texas opened in [[Bal Harbour, Florida]]. In subsequent years stores opened in over 30 cities across the United States, including [[Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta]], [[Charlotte, North Carolina|Charlotte]], [[Beverly Hills, California|Beverly Hills]], [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston]], [[Chicago, IL|Chicago]], [[Las Vegas Valley|Las Vegas]], [[Minneapolis, MN|Minneapolis]], [[San Francisco, California|San Francisco]] and [[St. Louis, Missouri|St. Louis]]. Neiman Marcus also had a letter of intent to open a 120,000 square foot store in downtown Cleveland in 1992 as part of an anchor for the upscale [[Tower City Center]]. However, the project did not come to fruition, instead opening its concept store in the 1990s.<ref>{{cite journal|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-7529657.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140611054516/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-7529657.html|archive-date=2014-06-11|title=Neiman Marcus in pact for new Cleveland store.

===2000&ndash;2010===
[[Stanley Marcus]] died on January 22, 2002. He had served as president and chairman of the board for the company.  Marcus had been the architect behind the fashion shows, New York advertising for a strictly regional chain, in-store art exhibits, and the Christmas catalog with its outlandish His-and-Hers gifts, including [[vicuña wool]] coats, a pair of airplanes, "[[Noah's Ark]]"{{Failed verification|date=October 2012}} (including pairs of animals), camels, and live tigers.{{r|Schack}}<ref name="nmoverview" /><ref name="aaf">{{cite web|url=http://www.advertisinghalloffame.org/members/member_bio.php?memid=702&uflag=m&uyear= |title=Stanley Marcus, Advertising Hall of Fame |publisher=Advertisinghalloffame.org |date=September 7, 2012 |access-date=December 10, 2012}}</ref>

Over the last 20 years, ownership of Neiman Marcus has passed through several hands. In June 1987, the company was [[Corporate spin-off|spun off]] from its retail parent, [[Carter Hawley Hale Stores]], and became a publicly listed company. [[General Cinema]], later to become [[Harcourt General]], still had a roughly 60% controlling interest until 1999, when Neiman Marcus was fully spun off from its [[parent company]]. On May 2, 2005, Neiman Marcus Group was the subject of a [[leveraged buyout]] (LBO), selling itself to two [[private equity]] firms, [[Texas Pacific Group]] and [[Warburg Pincus]].<ref name="CNNmoney">[https://money.cnn.com/2005/05/02/news/midcaps/neiman_marcus/index.htm Neiman Marcus in $5.1B buyout] CNN Money, May 2, 2005</ref>

The "Neiman-Marcus Collection," comprising early account books, advertising and Christmas Catalog layouts, files on charity activities, past awards and presentations, and a collection of Stanley Marcus's personal memorabilia, among many other items, is located in the Texas & Dallas History & Archives Division, 7th Floor, Main Library, Dallas Public Library, where it may be consulted by researchers.

According to the [[American Institute of Architects|AIA]] Dallas, "[[Eero Saarinen]] committed to designing the store but died unexpectedly in 1961. Saarinen’s partners [[Kevin Roche]] and [[John Dinkeloo]], designed it together with E.G. Hamilton of Harrell & Hamilton (now [[Omniplan (architects)|Omniplan]]), who also designed the rest of NorthPark Center. While Stanley Marcus wanted to use white marble throughout the new store, [[Raymond Nasher]] and Hamilton argued for unity in the overall design and materiality of the Center. Roche thus used bold elements defining the departments within. Marcus stated 'We found ourselves educating most of the architects…that…were positive of only one thing with any store: that we would want to change it within 10 years… [but Roche] was very convincing that a building had to have some discipline. Stanley was right, and later, during a remodeling to keep the store contemporary, elements with which he argued against had to be removed at great expense."<ref name="aiad">{{cite journal |last1=Adams |first1=James |title=A Curiosity in Architecture: The Legacy of Stanley Marcus |journal=Columns |date=2017 |volume=34 |issue=4 |url=https://www.aiadallas.org/v/columns-detail/A-Curiosity-in-Architecture-The-Legacy-of-Stanley-Marcus/s4/ |access-date=15 November 2023 |publisher=AIA Dallas |language=en}}</ref>

[[Image:Dallas Renaissance Tower 1.jpg|thumb|upright|[[Renaissance Tower (Dallas)|Renaissance Tower]] is the headquarters of the Neiman Marcus Group, also in Dallas.]]
Neiman Marcus is still in operation today under the original name and is still headquartered in Dallas, where it was founded. The Neiman Marcus Group comprises the Specialty Retail stores division including Neiman Marcus Stores and Bergdorf Goodman. These retailers offer [[Luxury goods|luxury]] apparel, accessories, jewelry, beauty and decorative home products. As of mid-2022 the company operates 36 Neiman Marcus stores in the United States and two Bergdorf Goodman stores in [[Manhattan]].<ref>{{cite web| title =Neiman Marcus Group-Our Brands| url =https://www.neimanmarcusgroup.com/our-brands| website =Neiman Marcus Group | date =2020 }}</ref> Neiman Marcus' largest market is the [[South Florida metropolitan area|South Florida MSA]], where they operate five stores.

The Neiman Marcus Group owned majority interest in [[Kate Spade]] LLC, a manufacturer of handbags and accessories. In October 2006, the company purchased all minority interest for approximately $59.4 million, and in November 2006 sold 100% ownership to [[Liz Claiborne]], Inc. for approximately $121.5 million. Another divestiture was a majority interest in Gurwitch Products LLC, which manufactures [[Laura Mercier]] cosmetics, to Alticor Inc., for approximately $40.8 million.<ref>

In 2013, Neiman Marcus settled a federal claim for falsely claiming that some of their products contained [[fake fur]] when tests by the [[Humane Society of the United States]] showed it was actually real fur from [[raccoon dog]]s. Neiman Marcus did not admit guilt, but promised to adhere to federal fur labeling laws (the [[Fur Act]]) for the next twenty years.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/neiman-marcus-settles-faux-fur-case/2013/03/19/f6d41d08-90c7-11e2-9cfd-36d6c9b5d7ad_story.html |title=Neiman Marcus settles 'faux' fur case |newspaper=Washington Post |date=March 19, 2013}}</ref>

In 2014, Neiman Marcus acquired German luxury fashion e-commerce platform [[Mytheresa|mytheresa.com]] and its flagship store Theresa from its founders Christoph and Susanne Botschen and [[venture capital]] firm [[Acton Capital Partners]].

In 2019, Neiman Marcus creditor, Marble Ridge Capital, had a lawsuit against Neiman Marcus dismissed after the claim of inappropriate transfer of the company's MyTheresa assets was dismissed by a [[Texas]] judge due to lack of [[subject-matter jurisdiction]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.retaildive.com/news/marble-ridge-rebuffs-neiman-marcus-financial-agreement/549626/ |title=Judge dismisses Marble Ridge suit against Neiman Marcus |publisher=Retail Dive |date=March 4, 2019}}</ref>

==The Christmas Book==

==="His and Hers" and "Fantasy" gifts===
[[Image:1969 Neiman Marcus Kitchen Computer.jpg|thumb|right|In 1969, customers could buy a $10,600 kitchen computer to help with recipes.]]

Since 1939, Neiman Marcus has issued an annual Christmas catalog, which gets much free publicity from the national media for a tradition of unusual and extravagant gifts not sold in its stores. Some have included the "his and hers" themed items, trips and cars (see below).

In 1952, Stanley Marcus introduced a new tradition of having extravagant and unusual gifts in each year's Christmas catalog, ''The Christmas Book''. The idea was sparked when journalist [[Edward R. Murrow]] contacted Marcus to ask if the store would be offering anything unusual that might interest his radio listeners. Marcus invented on the spot an offering of a live [[Black Angus]] bull accompanied by a [[sterling silver]] [[barbecue]] cart, and the catalog was subsequently altered to include this item, priced at $1,925.{{r|ratliff}}{{r|mouseranch}}{{r|johnson}} At one point, the Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog carried the distinction of being the item most stolen from recipients' mailboxes, prompting a [[Chicago postmaster]] to suggest the company switch to enclosing the catalogs in plain brown wrappers.{{r|raphel|pp=22-25}}

Neiman's fantasy gifts in the Christmas Book have included a $20 million [[submarine]], [[mummy]] cases that contained an actual mummy, seats from [[Ebbets Field]], and a $1.5 million [[Cobalt Co50 Valkyrie|Cobalt Valkyrie-X]] plane; the most expensive item was a [[Boeing Business Jet]] for over $35 million.{{r|Wahba_20161019}}

===Other Christmas gifts===
In 1961, Neiman-Marcus in Dallas was one of two stores in the nation — the other being [[Wanamaker's]] in [[Philadelphia]] — to offer computer-based assistance in selecting Christmas gifts. The process worked by comparing information on the recipient to a computerized
list of the 2,200 items available at Neiman-Marcus, then providing a printout of the 10 best suggestions. One person testing the computer filled out the questionnaire as if he were President [[John F. Kennedy]] shopping for gifts in excess of $1,000 for [[Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis|his wife]]; the computer suggested a [[yacht]].{{r|parade1961}}

During the [[Apollo 8]] mission in December 1968, Marilyn Lovell, wife of [[astronaut]] [[Jim Lovell]], who was the Command Module Pilot, received, as a Christmas present, a [[mink|mink coat]] that was delivered to her by a Neiman Marcus driver in a [[Rolls-Royce car]]. The coat was wrapped in royal blue wrapping paper with two [[Styrofoam]] balls — one for the Earth and the other for the Moon — and had a card that read, "To Marilyn, from the Man in the Moon."{{r|apollo13book|pages=[https://archive.org/details/lostmoonperilous00love/page/50/ 50-51]}}

In 2012, Neiman Marcus partnered with [[Target Corporation]] to create a holiday collection featuring 24 designers from the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). The 50-piece collection featured apparel, accessories and even some gifts for dogs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://live.drjays.com/index.php/2012/11/25/first-look-check-out-the-target-x-neiman-marcus-holiday-designer-collection-2012/|title=First Look: Check Out The Target x Neiman Marcus Holiday Designer Collection 2012|publisher=DrJays.com |date=November 25, 2012 |access-date=November 26, 2012}}</ref>

== Data breach ==
{{main|Snowflake data breach}}
In 2024, Neiman Marcus suffered a data breach and  extortion attempt as part of the Snowflake mass hacking campaign. The data stolen included information from both Neiman Marcus and Bergdof Goodman companies,  including personally identifiable information (PII) nearly 30 million Neiman Marcus customers. The stolen data also included partial credit card numbers, and purchase history for all of the store's online customers, and more than 12 million customer gift card numbers. Neiman Marcus filed regulatory documents in Maine and Vermont.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Neiman Marcus confirms data breach after Snowflake account hack |url=https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/neiman-marcus-confirms-data-breach-after-snowflake-account-hack/ |access-date=2025-01-05 |website=BleepingComputer |language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Burgess |first=Matt |title=The Snowflake Attack May Be Turning Into One of the Largest Data Breaches Ever |url=https://www.wired.com/story/snowflake-breach-advanced-auto-parts-lendingtree/ |access-date=2025-01-05 |magazine=Wired |language=en-US |issn=1059-1028}}</ref>

== Culture ==

The department store was the subject of a [[BBC One]] documentary in the [[Omnibus (British TV programme)|''Omnibus'']] strand. Entitled ''Dallas – The Big Store'' and directed by [[Jana Boková]], it aired on 24 February 1981.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://collections-search.bfi.org.uk/web/Details/ChoiceFilmWorks/150146563|title=Omnibus. Dallas – The Big Store| publisher=British Film Institute.| accessdate=23 March 2024}}</ref><br />
In 1983 [[Frederick Wiseman]] made a documentary called 'The Store' about the flagship store of Neiman Marcus.

==Cookie recipe urban legend==
Dating back as early as the 1930s, rumors started to circulate about a woman and her daughter who were out to lunch at Neiman Marcus and for dessert shared a chocolate chip cookie that they loved so much they asked the server for the recipe. The server said that the recipe would cost "two fifty" and the woman agreed. However, she was in disbelief when she was charged $250 for the recipe instead of what she thought would be $2.50. The rumor eventually became [[xeroxlore]] and a [[chain letter]].<ref name="De Vos">{{cite book|last=De Vos|first=Gail|title=Tales, rumors, and gossip: exploring contemporary folk literature in grades 7–12|publisher=Libraries Unlimited (A Member of Greenwood Publishing Group, Inc.)|location=Westport, Connecticut|year=1996|pages=21–22|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=M8bvN93y-fIC&q=Tales,+Rumors,+and+Gossip:+Exploring+Contemporary+Folk+Literature+in+Grades+7-12+neiman+marcus&pg=PA21|isbn=1-56308-190-3|access-date=4 February 2010}}</ref>

In 1997, after the rumor had progressed to an infamous [[Viral email|e-mail forward]], the company released a statement that the story was an urban legend. As a sign of good faith, the store also released a version of their cookie recipe for free to all customers to try.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1997/07/02/garden/the-250-cookie-recipe-exposed.html |title=The $250 Cookie Recipe Exposed|work=The New York Times |date=July 2, 1997}}</ref>
