History
Established in 1894.
Meyer The Hatter was started in 1894 by Sam H. Meyer. He had worked in a hat store on St. Charles Ave. for many years and wanted to open a business for himself. Originally named Meyer’s Hat Box, the store grew and prospered in Downtown New Orleans. Today, members of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th generations of the Meyer family work and run the 117 year old business.
