Home of the Hip Flask

In the Roaring '20s, flappers danced the Charleston to hot jazz, bootleggers defied Prohibition, and lounge lizards sported silver flasks full of illicit hooch. Although hip flasks date back to the 18th century, their heyday was definitely the early 20th. Slightly curved to fit comfortably in a gentleman's hip or breast pocket, the flask was historically associated with men. But as women shed their inhibitions in the '20s, discreet flasks tucked into knee garters became the cat's meow for girls in the know. Today, that daring yet practical fashion accessory returns in the Bootleggers line of flasks and garters.
