!!! I was eyeing on the splatter divine tote for a while - I saw it in the store and liked it so much. The splatter pattern works well on Divine tote. It looked better in person than on the website - nice!I got the divine tote in snake splattered print! Looking forward to receive it
I saw it! Thank you for bringing that up.
I woke up early this morning because I wanted to visit the local store which is closing today. I thought I should check the opening hour and then noticed the flash sale! I am calling it flash sale because everything I saw was "only 1 available" and disappeared quickly..... There were small jetsetters in 6-7 different colors but then they just disappeared.. I cannot make up my mind quickly enough for handbags, so I bought gift items, like pill cases (60% off) and card-key holders (orange-black chevron & black one, 60 & 50% off) first.
There were also black and green Warren chain shoulder bags - both monogram and smoother leather, style from a year ago? - at 60% off.. I didn't go for them because I already have a black/silver monogram Warren. There were Empire style bags, various older West 57th style bags, some Spruce street style bags.. All are "only 1 available"..
When I looked at my shopping cart, it said "Currently unavailable"... I was sad..
I finally went to the local store, Old Orchard/Skokie, around 10:20am which probably opened 8am this morning.
It's the last day of the shop. The store sign said all are 50% off, except for a small corner of 60% off items. I don't know when this 50% off sale started but most shelves had only a few items, no jettsetter, some backpacks and 712.. There were more smaller items, jewelry, cosmetic cases, and pet items.
I picked some items thinking 50% off (store clerks told me so too), but when they rang at the register, everything but one item (the medium wallet which was 50% off) was actually 60% off. What a nice surprise! I should have gone there earlier if I knew the sale was 60% off (mostly). I think the 60% items are from older collections - like the pet carrier tote. I haven't seen the one for a while in the store!
The gold charms are for my leather key fob. I only needed one but got two - I thought I can use one for my bracelet, which was a bit bigger than the width of the bracelet but looks ok, I think (below). These "initial" charms are not on display. They were kept in the counter area and I had to ask specifically for them. Not much use unless you have a matching item but I kinda like those..
What else I saw in the store...??? Oh, some candles, a lot of embroidery patch sticker set. Also, perfume sets, key fobs from the summer/surf collection, some scarves - I like the skinny scarf! It was $19.20 - at 60% off.

Good thing I grabbed two jetsetter backpacks before Christmas. I have always loved the design. I have 3 other jetsetter, but I need new ones. I got both in black but one with SHW and the other one with GHW. This is heartbreaking [emoji17]
Ordered this awesome keychain wallet from Bendel's. It came Thursday.

I wish they weren't going out of business.

Yes, it seems that the best time to purchase Jetsetter was before Christmas.... I didn't get the silver hardware one - wish I did!
May I ask when you first noticed the new inventory this morning? I noticed the flash-sale/new inventory around 6:03 am in the central time and am wondering when it started!
They dropped a bunch of inventory really early yesterday morning (Saturday the 5th) that I saw around 5am. I was able to snag 2 backpacks - a black Noho and a black/canvas Jetsetter that I had been bummed about missing.
A few hours later, they were all gone. And they had dropped at least 40 different types of bags.
Looking now, very few bags available. I’d be willing to bet, if you log on early in the morning, they will probably have released new stock. Tory Burch does the same thing during her annual sale.

I ordered the Belmont in blue and am so disappointed in the color! It looks like a black color and a slight blue hue. I honestly wonder if they sent me a black bag by mistake..
I do love the design though so I am a bit stuck on whether to keep it or to just sell it

So sad this store is closing!!! I use to shop there all the time but moved an hour away. Went in today and was able to get the last cream quilted 712 backpack, not what I wanted but love the color. The burgundy tote still on website might get it too. Does anyone know if another company is going to be selling the candles? Love them!! Thankfully I have 4 figs in reserve!! Maybe they’re going back to Bath and Bodyworks? Hate there’s but they sold the Bendel ones years ago, anyone know??
This is gorgeous!! So sad I missed it onlineFell in love with this HB bag! Especially that purple colorAnd that logo "HB" lock is so clever
Ah, so it finally sold out! I've had a tab open on my phone keeping an eye on it since I saw it in store. It is so cute, but I'm on a serious bag ban and really shouldn't be adding more. In a way I'm relieved, but I'm sad I missed it too!This is gorgeous!! So sad I missed it online
