4. When Jerry Terrence visited Hollywood’s Graumann’s Chinese
Theater in 1964, the marquee titled “The Carpetbaggers”
caught his eye- giving him the idea for his carpeted handbag
creations, and setting him on a path to an evolutionary legacy
of fashion entrepreneurship. Over the next few years, JT
Carpetbag did a lot of innovative things in New York & across
the country to get the attention of store buyers, enlisting a stag
of true “Mad Men” –type advertising geniuses with clever
marketing techniques.
It wasn’t long before Jerry could barely keep up with demand
thanks to nationwide media coverage in magazines,
newspapers and on radio and television. The carpetbags
became so enormously popular that nearly ONE MILLION
were sold in the US alone over the course of just 36 months.
