Bloomingdale's
Since 1872 Bloomingdale's has been setting trends in fashion retailing
Every New York fashionista knows the "4 B's Designer Shopping": Bloomie's, Bergdorf's, Bendel's and Barneys. Since 1872, when Benjamin Bloomingdale's sons started selling ladies hoop skirts on the Lower East Side, Bloomingdale's has been a shopping mecca and a trendsetter in the retail industry.
In 1886, the department store moved to its current home on Lexington Avenue and the Bloomingdale brothers developed the much loved pastime of window shopping by being the first store to create a theatrical mise-en-scene featuring a few select products in the plate glass display windows. Bloomingdale's has continued to capitalize on its relationship with the affluent, young and trendy through theatrical advertising campaigns billing Bloomie's a store that had to be experienced, a place to see and be seen.
Personal shoppers and interior designers are available by appointment to help you fill your iconic Big Brown Bag to the brim with the latest in fashions for you and your home. On the first floor balcony, Bloomingdale's Visitor Service offers translators, coat and package check services, hotel package delivery (minimum purchase $250) and a full concierge service. International visitors are eligible to receive free signature gift when they spend $200 or more by presenting a same day receipt to the Visitor Services desk.

Bloomingdale's Reviews
Rated out of 5
Writing this review for this wonderful salesman, Alexandra who was patient, kind, responsive went above and beyond for me on a phone for a particular specific pair of shoes which was a difficult size to find. Thank you Alexandra for helping us all the way from California! Cheers!

Overall experience is really so so. The staff there overall is very stuck up. I know they have some of the nicer brands in their building, but it is really no way to treat customers.

I had such a wonderful experience at Bloomingdale’s thanks to Phillip! He was incredibly friendly, patient, and helpful. He quickly figured out an issue with my return and made the entire process so easy and stress-free.
The level of customer service he provided is exactly why I love shopping at Bloomingdale’s. Everyone is always so welcoming and kind, and experiences like this keep me coming back. Thank you, Phillip!
