Has anyone here ever shopped at this store, and what are your opinions on it?  Is it a high end store etc... If someone would be so kind as to review it for me, as to what i should expect, and fav products, etc..that would be great

I love love love love love HB!  Whenever we go to NYC, I must go there.  To be honest, I don't buy a lot of stuff there, but I love checking out the displays.  I get lots of outfit inspirations there.  The store is cutting edge - it's a great place to go and see what the upcoming trends will be.  But most of the clothes are high-end and pretty pricey.


There are little "boutiques" set up throughout the store, and lots of times, designers are there selling their creations.  I bought a beaded bag from the girl who made it, and another time I had a necklace strung with beads I picked out.


I love the first floor where all the makeup counters, perfume and hair accessories are.  I could (and have) spent hours there.  Sigh....as you can tell, I'm obsessed.

Nope, I never tried their beauty products, but I have bunch of their private label merino sweaters (as soft as cashmere), the brown and white striped travel makeup bags, and I buy HB candles at bath and body works all the time.   My favorite is fig


I bet it's good stuff though, I'll have to check it out!

The one by me only sells HB candles, and that's it - both stores are owned by the limited brand, so that's why they are carried there.  I wish it had more HB products.

nicoley- you are in columbus, right?


the henri bendel at easton only sells makeup/skin care (several brands) and accessories- bags, jewelry, etc.


however, both the Bath and Body works and CO Bigelow right down the street also sell some of the HB products and some of the same face lines, although i don't think the same makeup lines. I think its cool but for makeup i would rather buy from somewhere like nordstrom or sephora (at polaris) where they have a 100% return policy.


hth!
