Heather Elizabeth NL013 K&B Night Light
Heather Elizabeth’s night light diffuses light softly through the image. Each night light is hand crafted in Heather Elizabeth’s New Orleans studio. 3×3 inches with a 4 watt light bulb.
Katz & Besthoff introduced the K&B chain of drug stores on Canal Street in 1905. K&B’s popular purple signs evolved into an iconic part of the New Orleans landscape. While Rite Aid drugstores bought out the beloved K&B chain in 1997, many native New Orleanians continue to refer to Rite Aid stores as K&B’s to this day…and lovingly refer to that distinctive color purple as “K&B purple” in conversation.
