Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Deb Shops began in Philadelphia in 1932 as JOY Hosiery, then grew from neighborhood shops into mall stores centered on women’s and girls’ clothing. This backpack brings that changing retail story along for everyday outings, commutes, or a return to school. Its design celebrates a familiar name from American mall culture and the generations of shoppers who remember Deb Shops as the company evolved from hosiery roots to apparel and later an online plus-size retailer.
Deb Shops began in Philadelphia in 1932, when founders Philip Rounick and Aaron Weiner opened a store called JOY Hosiery. It sold reasonably priced hosiery, lingerie, and foundations; nylon stockings joined its inventory in 1939. The business expanded around Philadelphia in the 1950s, as the founders' sons Marvin Rounick and Warren Weiner joined management in 1961 and 1965. Responding to suburban growth and shopping-mall construction, the company shifted from neighborhood shops to larger mall stores during the 1970s and adopted the Deb Shops name, focusing on women's and girls' clothing. In 1995 it acquired Atlantic Book Stores, operating book outlets and warehouses alongside its apparel business. Deb Shops traded on NASDAQ as DEBS until Lee Equity Partners acquired it in 2007 for $395 million. Parent company DSI Holdings filed for bankruptcy in 2011 and again in 2014. In January 2015, Deb Shops announced the closure of all 295 stores; final sales took place March 30. By September 2015, the business had returned as an online-only retailer focused on plus-size clothing. Its website shut down in December 2018. A separate company later published a plus-size online store using the Deb Shops name.
