Set director Claire Kaufman and director Greta Gerwig sourced nearly all of the textiles featured in Little Women from Zimman’s, a more than century-old fabrics-and-furnishings store in Lynn.
For 108 years, Zimman’s has been focused on pleasing patrons with quality merchandise at fair prices. Sales is clearly in the Zimman family DNA. As Morris Zimman liked to tell it, he started out selling grain futures at nine or 10 (or maybe six) years old in his native Lithuania. Less than a year after arriving in America, he put his sales acumen to use, opening a dry goods store in Lynn in 1909.
