A New York institution. Described as "a rite of passage for elite young women", the store is a playground for girls of all ages.Since 1895 Bendel's has attracted women from all over the world as well as the elite girls of New York City. Starting with an offering of chic exquisitely designed hats and gowns of his own creation, Bendel started something that still lives on in 2010. Not only did Henri Bendel bring 712 5th Avenue alive with his own designs, but here was where he staged the first fashion show in New York, introduced shopping into the exclusive then-residential neighbourhood of New York and introduced the fabulous Coco Chanel to the United States.
His legacy is undeniable and the store is as legendary today as it was in 1895. The first shopping destination for any girl visiting or living in New York City. It houses some of the most glamorous designer names. From his own range including jewellery to makeup bags and perfume to the Frederic Fekkai salon on the 4th floor, it is truly an iconic shopping destination. His signature brown and white striped bags swing from the arms of stylish young women everywhere around New York City.
