Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Add a touch of apparel retail history to your daily work or study routine with this Steve & Barry's laptop sleeve. The brand started at the University of Pennsylvania in 1985 and grew from a campus-focused store into a national chain with a broader presence in malls. Its value-centered approach and celebrity-backed private labels made it a recognizable part of 2000s retail culture. A useful desk-to-campus accessory and a thoughtful keepsake for collectors who follow the stories behind familiar American store names.
Steve & Barry's was founded by Steven Shore and Barry Prevor at the University of Pennsylvania in 1985. Its first campus store drew customers with low prices, and the business expanded to other university campuses across the United States. In 1998, the chain opened its first large mall-based store at Great Lakes Crossing in Auburn Hills, Michigan, broadening its range beyond college-related apparel. Until 2007, it operated as Steve & Barry's University Sportswear; it then dropped the tagline as celebrity-designed and inspired private-label clothing helped broaden its appeal. The company developed lines with several public figures and sold casual clothing, footwear, and accessories through a value-focused retail model. In 2006, investment firm TA Associates made a minority investment, and a group led by Bay Harbour Management later bought the company. Steve & Barry's filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on July 9, 2008. Its reorganization failed, and successor parent BH S&B Holdings announced liquidation of the remaining stores in November 2008. The chain liquidated during 2008 and 2009.
