For those unwilling to open their wallets for a keepsake from Tiffany & Co. wrapped in blue, upscale specialty store Henri Bendel – a block south – is sure to satiate your New York souvenir bling appetite. Established in 1895, the 5th Avenue landmark stocks a treasure trove of designer handbags, fashion jewelry and accessories, featuring a revolving door of signature collaborations with established and emerging designers alike. While the crowds and sheer amount of swag lacing the floors of the four-story flagship can at times seem overwhelming, it’s worth the treasure hunt in search of a trinket to allow you to take home your own signature brown and white striped box. Tip: If you’re heading to New York around the holidays, be sure to pick-up one of the brand’s collectible fashionista snowglobes.
