Cara Couture's Pretty Headbands, With Crystals and Pearls

Filed under: Jewelry

I wrote about headbands once before on Luxist, and didn't expect to again. But then I found these pretty accessories at Henri Bendel and thought they'd be nice for a holiday or New Year's fete. Cara Couture's Satin & Crystal Headbands feature offset crystal and pearl adornments and come in four colors: gray, $88; red, $78; black, $88; and purple, $118.

Henri Bendel To Stop Selling Clothing

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

New York department store Henri Bendel has a new way to deal with the economy. The store, which is part of Limited Brands, will stop selling clothing, switching focus to accessories and beauty products. With less merchandise the Fifth Avenue store will need less room and so it will give up one of its three floors. Around 20 people will be laid off in the transition.

Beauty and small gift products are still selling well or at least better than expensive clothing as more people "shop their closets" rather than heading to the stores. Limited is trying to get the most out of the Bendel brand, Years ago they came out with a line of Bendel-branded perfumes sold through their Bath & Bodyworks stores. That line has been discontinued but Bath & Bodyworks still sells Henri Bendel candles.

The NY Times says that a "more mall-like chain" of smaller stores selling Bendel-branded beauty and gift items is planned with six accessories-only stores set to open in shopping centers this year. It seems a terrible dilution of an esteemed brand which began over 100 years ago, rendering it a meaningless name.

Filed under: Handbags

The Henri Bendel Disturbed Stripe Asymmetric Clutch is the perfect accessory to update any outfit for this coming season.

The asymmetry, black and white pattern, and 80s feel make this clutch versatile and very wearable with almost any outfit. A black and white pattern is practically a neutral this year -- and when you carry this purse with a classic neutral, like brown or grey, it will make that brown or grey look modern and boldly chosen.

This simple, 10.5" x 8" x .5", cotton purse with signature Henri Bendel pulls has a detachable strap and is just large enough to carry all your essentials -- don't worry about taking your house key off your keychain or your ID and credit card out of your wallet. This bag can go seamlessly from brunch to dinner to dancing.

The Henri Bendel Disturbed Stripe Asymmetric Clutch is available from Henri Bendel for $175.00.

Henri Bendel No. 7 Quilted Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

We love the Art Deco inspired Henri Bendel No. 7 Quilted Shoulder Bag in Periwinkle.

This bag, described as "rocker chic," combines the softness and delicacy of periwinkle (everyone's favorite Crayola Crayon) with the edge of steel. The hardware comes in silver for the periwinkle version, as well as the cream and red. The black and blue ink versions come with brassy yellow gold toned chains and logo.

This Italian quilted Nappa leather bag is lined in satin, making it more practical for evening than all day -- a perfect companion for one of this spring's white dresses. We'd also love to see this paired with jeans and stilettos. Like a rock and roll lady, it's equally appropriate with couture and the thrift store.

The Henri Bendel No. 7 Quilted Shoulder Bag is available from Henri Bendel for $395 (Red and Cream are currently sold out).

Depending on who you ask there can just never be enough handbags and accessories in the world, and for those who agree there's a new line coming out from Henri Bendel just in time for the holidays. Soon to be joining the envious ranks of the Henri Bendel makeup cases will be a whole group of new items including jewelry, handbags, and wallets.

One signature item, available at the Fifth Avenue store, is the 1907 Centennial stripe East-West tote that will retail for $450. But if that's not your thing there's plenty of other options like cuffs, bangles, pendant necklaces, and earrings to name a few.
