Henri Bendel

I really want to like this store but every time I go in I’m disappointed. The stench of the candles burning is really overwhelming and when that is combined with the lack of A/​C pumping through the store it makes for a very uncomfortable environment to be in. Also the number of employees in the store is ridiculous, it’s like 3 per customer. They don’t leave you alone and insist on telling you over and over what the sales are and what’s new. And good lord do not touch anything because they spring on you like vultures! Any time you touch something they swoop down from god only knows where and will not leave you alone. I’m sure they are all very nice people but how about some space? If you like to be followed around while not being able to breath because of heavy perfumed air, this is the store for you. If you hate that kind of environment stick to shopping online, its a far better experience.

Our first time to visit this shop in Costa Mesa and we were pleasantly surprised by the nice selection and very professional and helpful staff. It was one of the best shopping experiences we had on our trip and will definitely go back there again.

I’m not going to lie — — - I love what this store has to offer. I find them to be way too expensive for me, but my daughters went in here, and I couldn’t help but admire all the beautiful accessories, gifts, and things that a woman wants… not much in the «need» category, but definitely «wants.» The displays are beautiful and alluring, top quality workmanship with all their products with prices to match. My daughters treated each other to their holiday gifts here… nice, loving, and generous sisters that they are, as I watched with envy. Everything is done with perfection here, right down to the sturdy shopping bags. I now am the proud owner of one Henri Bendel shopping bag (that my daughter discarded). Maybe someday I’ll graduate to owning an actual piece of jewelry or a keychain, LOL. In the meantime, I will just keep looking.

I’ll make this quick — The selection is on point, the staff is extremely attentive, genuine, welcoming, and knowledgeable, and most importantly they have a fantastic selection for ladies with expendable dough.
The quality of their pieces is never disappointing, the turnover for fresh inventory is very frequent, and as an added bonus they are constantly having promotional sales and deals.
One major call out its just how fabulous their candles are — fragrant but not overwhelming, clean burning, and long-​lasting.
Oh and one last thing I always go to Christina she’s super knowledgeable super friendly and never disappoints.

Today I made Costa Mesa HB my primary store and I’m happy I did! It’s a little distance for me but its so worth the drive. The store is much different from the Bev Ctr. we’re I usually shop. As soon as I walked in the store I was immediately greeted at the door by a friendly face as I walked around I mentioned my name and they knew exactly who I was lol. I ordered my moms bday gift a month early because the «jetsetter» in black is always sold out. Katie my personal shopper did exactly what she said she put the bag away for me wrapped it and she even offered to signs up for the emails. Katie was very friendly, a true sweetheart. She’s knowledgeable of the HB products and she keeps it real about everything lol. I found her on Unilocal and I’m happy I did I will most def shop with her again.

Great selection of handbags and accessories. Customer service is great, patient. Even though they didn’t have the item i wanted in stock, they managed to locate one in another store and have it shipped to me. It came wrapped up in a big Henri Bendel box, with the signature striped tissue wrapped all around. Awesome!

Super cute accessories and their sales associates are always so helpful. Their candles burn fabulously and make wonderful gifts!

I have always loved walking into a Henri Bendel store. It’s like that whole «Breakfast at Tiffany’s» feeling. I feel so at home and spoiled every time i come in and take a look at the beautiful displays of jewelry and bags. The staff there are always so friendly and open to conversation.
This time in particular, I finally decided to purchase my own Henri Bendel handbag. The only problem was, there were so many gorgeous ones! I just couldn’t decide and the lovely associate, Katie, was patient, accommodating, and ready to help. She was so down to earth, gave me good advice, and did her best to make sure I picked out my own special bag for my needs. It was like shopping with my sister and definitely one upped the experience for me.
The bag I ended up picking out was perfect. Katie was even nice enough to package it nice and pretty for me. When I brought it home, even my picky mother approved of the quality and aesthetics of the Henri Bendel bag. Definitely going back for matching wallets, accessories, and more! :D

I went into the store yesterday to purchase a purse for my girlfriend for Valentine’s Day. Brooke assisted me on the phone in reserving the purse for pick up later on in the day. Upon arriving Brooke greeted me and was an absolute darling in all of her help with purchasing this special gift. Henri Bendel is very lucky to have an employee of this quality. Great Job Brooke!

If you love beautiful packaging, informative associates and finding things you didn’t know you needed and wanted then look no further as this place is for you.
Every detail is covered at Henri Bendel — known for the brown-​and-​white striped shopping bags, its signature hatboxes, and an extensive matching line of cosmetics bags.
Well, I can tell you I found all of those warm fuzzy feelings on one of the most busy crowd heavy shopping evenings (the night before Christmas Eve) at Henri Bendel thanks to Justin and Kristina.
You will find beautiful pieces of jewelry, finely crafted lambskin handbags and deliciously scented candles throughout the store.
Don’t be intimated to walk in by the awe-​inspiring appearance. You will be welcomed by the store’s associates and the store itself will arouse your curiosity.
It was my first time walking into this brick and mortar and now it won’t be my last.

Nice stuff but at a premium. Not even close to upscale in my opinion because stuff is made from China. The quality is okay not so great.
I came into the store and got ignored. No greeting no hellos at all. They didn’t approach me. I needed some help with finding a gift. They were too busy doing inventory, so it’s okay to ignore me right?!
Maybe it’s because I didn’t look like the type of person to buy their products. This should be a 1 star, but my friend liked her gift.

Cute organizers! I’m hooked!!! Love it! Look for Dina. She’s great! The store manager is also very nice.
I got travel organizers, huge bag, flip flops, etc. wasn’t really planning on buying anything here but went out with two extra large paper bags!
Super cute girly stuffs!

um how i ADORE you HenriBendel
one fatal day I walked on into HenriBendel and since then ive been hooked like a bad bad drug… honestly why wasnt I lured in before… whoKNOWS ! but its probably a good thing… the moment i walk in i get so giddy with all the jewels they have waiting for me to buy!!!
love their earrings & rings the most… there rings are my favorite BUT i do have a gripe with them because its been less then 5mos and one is slightly getting tarnished :(i guess i do over wear it but still WHY IS IT HAPPENING!
also whats freaking amazing about Henri Bendel? there gifts and deals! they always have some special or another going on and they are GOOD too probably the BEST store considering sales & freebies!
i love all the girls who work there-​theyre soooo sweet… my first encounter with them I thought they were PUSHY but i realize they are just being super helpful… ive walked out twice without buy anything and they were rude about it at all…
ill be back soon i want some more rings & that crystal studded bow earrings =x

Okay, so it was the first time I stepped into this store and I LOVED it. Every single inch of the store. I’ve only heard of the name and seen the name, but I fell in love with every product I saw! I wish I had all the money in the world and drop it all in this store. My boyfriend decided to spontaneously buy me a pair of their Rose Gold Aviator shades, and the timing was just right because a sales associate informed me that it was their last day for their friends and family sale. 20% off any purchase of $ 100 or more. The sunglasses were $ 125, so we got them for $ 100 with tax!
Let’s just say I walked out the store a happy girl!
Happy is an understatement.

This is one of my favorite places to shop. The store is decorated in an upscale girly way. Walking in you do feel like you’ve entered another world (new york perhaps?). The store has had quite the evolution since it opened and has made a name for itself. I love the bracelets here because they are good quality and shine really well. The things here are not cheap so i’d advise you wait for their 30% sales which happen often.
Last year they launched their «snack bar» with various sweets packaged in very eye catching designs. The chocolate covered espresso beans are so good! Any «IT» girl will love this store. They are always coming out with new designs so check their website often. Also, their signature is the brown & white striped hat box or bag.

Awesome sale going on right now until Nov. 18. Buy $ 300 worth of items, get $ 100 off.
That part just needed to be said right away.
Henri Bendel is an iconic store in New York City on 5^th Ave. We have a couple here in Southern Ca.
We’re definitely lucky to have one in South Coast Plaza.
Anyway, it’s all things girly. Expect to spend at least $ 100. Give yourself that budget. You can choose from earrings, bracelets, and rings. Some jewelry items will be more than $ 100 so choose carefully.
I was expecting to buy only 2 items here, but because of this great sale I bought 4 items for the 2 item price!
Score!
You get awesome service from the sales associates too!
I should’ve taken pictures. It’s really pretty in the store.

This store is about selling their design and NOT QUALITY products.
Cute stuff that looks high end, but did you notice the small print?
«Made in China»
I have nothing wrong with gifty things made in China, but as a consumer I will not spend $ 100+ on China made products. I don’ t know if I’d even spend $ 50.especially on accessories.
The only product I can review is a leather clutch I have that has a snap lock opening hardware and beautiful chunky lightweight wristlet chain that retailed at $ 150.
The snap lock does not lock it shut. You can just pull open the flap without pressing the snap lock.
So I have to make sure to hold it shut while carrying it, which is very uncomfortable.
I also got a bangle as a gift and the hinge broke after a few uses. I’ve had bangles at a much lower price point that never broke so I was really disappointed.

Today I had awesome service from Brittany!!! There was a special item that I wanted to buy for my daughter via the Bendel website. It is Cyber Monday (should we capitalize that?) and they had a nice offer online BUT the item I wanted wasn’t listed on their website. Brittany was able to offer me the online discount in store. Super cool. Even if she hadn’t of been able to give me the discount, she was still very nice and helpful!

hmm. purses — check. wallets — check. ipad case — check. iphone/​phone case — check. small leather goods like zip coin purses, luggage tags, passport wallets, etc… check.
candy… ?? oh my. don’t mind if i do. chocolate, sea salt. oh man, quick detour to heaven eh?
friendly service, great variety of selections, though it’s a tad «busy“looking in my opinion, but no fuss shopping all in one cute little store. they got stuff for ur pets here too. some outrageous (like a crystal leash… REALLY. ?) and some normal-​ish (pet bowls, collars, beds, carriers). i enjoy going through their front tables, lots of interesting goodies, year round too, not just for the holiday stocking stuffers.

Henri Bendel is definitely the new Coach! They have a wide selection of bags, wallets, accessories and gifts. Great place to buy a nice quality gift for someone. Their service is really good and they were very helpful with the questions I had. The place itself is a little small and can get very crowded at times, but the associates are always close by.
I was a little frusrtrated because I came back for a bracelet that they no longer carried (and I only saw that bracelet the week before) but came away yesterday with a really cute leather bracelet for a friend and had it gift wrapped. Definitely check this place out, they have so many cute things… Coach is really overrated!
