This past Christmas the number one item on my wishlist was this textured leather, Henri Bendel jeweled handbag. There are so many reasons why this is my favorite purse. I love how it can be dressed up or down, and how it will make any outfit stand out. It’s small but you can still fit your essentials into it, and of course, the quality of Bendel’s purses are first-rate in my opinion. The inside is lined in satin with Bendel’s signature logo, and it showcases Bendel’s custom hardware in silver. I think it’s important that every women owns a stylish black evening bag. It doesn’t have to be expensive; just something that is classic and chic.
