Shop Around – Kays Catalogue
While investigating the heritage world of Kays on the internet we’ve found out a couple of new facts about the British mail order catalogue. Firstly, iconic model Jean Shrimpton posed for the pages of Kays in the early 1960s. And the second interesting Kays-fact is in the early days of the business (They’ve been trading for a 100 years) they sold live chickens.Some of the pages of past catalogues were archived on The World of Kays website by the Research Collections of the University of Worcester.
From their extensive archives we’ve picked out some of our favourite pages from 1967 to the early 1970s. Keep an eye out for Monkees and Mod Shoes, Ready Steady Go presenter Cathy McGowan and all round entertainer Anita Harris.
