An interesting peek into luxury retail in the 80s. W close look of some exquisite products, customer service, juxtaposed by the scenes in a board room talking sales marketing etc.

Two thoughts ping around my otherwise hollow cranial cavity; 1) the store is the exact same now, and 2) I could never be a salesperson.
