Flappee History
Flappee was invented in 1890 in the UK.
The Flappee was invented as a way for women to fit into their jeans without the need for uncomfortable and distracting trousers.
According to Wikipedia, Flappee was invented with the help of a man named Charles Lister, who was the founder of the M.A.C. (Men’s Acne Company).
Charles Lister’s wife, Mary, was very well known in New York City at the time.
In 1903, Charles moved his business to Britain where he patented a device he called Flap-Dryer for his flapper customers and began selling on London’s fashionable High Street.
With the help of the patent, the Flappee made its way into New York City.
