Les prix sont plus chers qu'ailleurs surtout pendant la période des soldes où il est plus intéressant d'aller acheter dans les maisons-mères de grande renommée.
I wanted to do some shopping on Fifth Avenue and go to Saks (one of the most famous shopping centers like Galerie Lafayette or Le Printemps in Paris) but as soon as I got there I was very disappointed.
They had the usual up-to-date collections of the famous European brands such as Gucci, Channel and Louboutin but you can find those in most European cities. All the American brands they had were old fashioned and classic. I was expecting to discover some new american fashion, trendy, colorful brands but no...The prices are more expensive than everywhere else especially during the sales period where it's better to go to the high street shop than to the shopping centers for bigger discounts.
Mais je n'étais pas seule pour faire du shopping; ma copine Neda qui connait très bien les States puisqu'elle y vit depuis plus d'une dizaine d'années m'a emmenée dans un magasin génial, juste de l'autre côté de la rue, où si je n'avais pas été avec elle, je n'aurais sûrement pas mis les pieds!
Je parle du magasin "Henri Bendel" créé en 1895!
Tout est cher mais par contre, c'est de la très bonne qualité, un style indiscutable et en plus des marques connues et reconnues, ils ont leur propre collection concernant les fringues, les accessoires, les objets de déco... Le design et les matériaux des sacs et des bijoux de fantaisie (entre autres!) sont magnifiques.
Mais gants de cuir noir dans le post précédent viennent de là ainsi que le porte-clé que mon amie m'a offert et que je ne quitte plus. Un jour je serai milliardaire et irai tout acheter là-bas! :-)
I wasn't shopping alone. I was with my friend Neda, who knows the US very well because she has lived there for over 10 years, took me to this amazing shop just on the other side of the street. I would never have entered in this shop if she hadn't told me to go!
I am talking about the shop "Henri Bendel" created in 1895!
Everything is expensive but it's very good quality and the style is amazing. Besides the well-known brands, they have their own collection of clothes, accessories, decorations... The designs and the materials used for the bags and jewellery is fantastic.
My leather black gloves that I am wearing in the previous post and the key-chain, that my friend gave me, which i wear all the time came from Henri Bendel.
One day, I will be billionaire and I will go and buy everything in this shop! :-)
