Hanover Direct Announces Appointment of Charlie Pellenberg as
President of Domestications 


EDGEWATER, N.J., July 9  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hanover Direct, Inc.
(AMEX:HNV) today announced the appointment of Charlie Pellenberg as President
of its Domestications catalog.

Mr. Pellenberg first joined Hanover Direct in 1983 where he founded
Domestications and developed it to become one of the industry's leading
specialty home furnishings catalogs. In 1993, he also took over responsibility
for The Company Store catalog when it was acquired by the Company. He has spent
the last 7 years at Brylane L.P. (Redcats USA) where he was the Senior Vice
President of the Home/Lifestyles division. It was there that he founded and
created the BrylaneHome(TM) catalog.

"We are extremely excited about Charlie rejoining the Company," stated Wayne
Garten, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. "His expertise and
demonstrated results in the catalog industry make him an excellent addition to
our team," added Mr. Garten. "Over the last year Domestications and The Company
Store have been under one management team that has done an excellent job.
However, Domestications and The Company Store are too big and diverse to
compete for the same management resources and, as a result, we felt it was
important to put Domestications back under separate management," Mr. Garten
concluded.
