Henri Bendel Joins 20th Century With First Website

Legendary Fifth Avenue department store Henri Bendel now has a web presence. The site, which we brought to your attention back in August, finally launched two days ago. Thought HenriBendel.com does have an e-commerce component, only a small portion of the store's merchandise is available online (currently, you can purchase handbags and other accessories, many of them branded with Bendel’s signature brown-and-white stripes). Hopefully they'll add more wares, because right now the whole site is feeling a bit touristy. Baby steps.
