A small, 2,000-square-foot branch carrying only cosmetics, fragrances, and gifts opened in Easton Town Center in Columbus, Ohio, in 2004.

Influence

Bendel's encourages new designers through its semi-annual \"Open-See\" events, at which vendors can present merchandise to buyers on a \"first come, first seen\" basis. Designers closely associated with the store include Stephen Burrows, Rick Owens, and Diane von Furstenberg. He was even the first person to bring the designs of Coco Chanel over from PaRiS.

The store is well-known for its signature brown-and-white striped shopping bags and an extensive matching line of cosmetics bags. Its Henri Bendel cashmere and merino wool sweater collections, delivered in variety of styles and colors, are also famous. It regularly features \"Girls Night Out\" special shopping evenings for charity.

Ownership

Henri Bendel is now owned by Limited Brands. The personality most associated with Henri Bendel is Geraldine Stutz, who was its president for twenty-nine years until 1986 when the store was sold to Limited. She introduced the famous \"Street of Shops\", the boutiques-within-a-specialty-store concept which later gained wide popularity at the store's former location on 57th Street in New York City.

Bendel in Fifth Avenue

Located at 10 West 57th Street for decades, Henri Bendel moved to its current location at 712 Fifth Avenue near 56th Street in 1990. The store is located in two landmark buildings, the Rizzoli Building and Coty Building, and a new five-story building. The company was delighted to discover hidden Lalique windows during the restoration of the existing buildings. The store has four stories plus a lower lever, an atrium with balconies, and 35,000 square feet of selling space.

The main floor is home to the Gazebo Shop and many cosmetics brands, most of them in limited distribution. The Gazebo Shop features fashion accessories, with an emphasis on sunglasses and hair accessories. Featured cosmetics brands include Awake, Bobbi Brown, Freeze 24/7, Kevin Aucoin, Laura Mercier, M.A.C, Nars, N.V. Perricone M.D., Rodan + Fields, Trish McEvoy, and, on the mezzanine, Chanel. The store was also one of the first to carry Annick Goutal fragrances.

The second floor houses the store's signature sweater collections, along with the jewelry/cold weather accessories department, and the \"market\" section, which features denim, and casual brands such as James Perse, Splendid, AKA New York, and J Brand.
