Once upon a time in New York City, the three shopping havens for those in the know were referred to, in the words of Blair Waldorf, “the three B’s”: Bendel’s, Barneys and Bloomingdale’s.
Bendel’s shuttered after 123 years in 2018. Next came the Hollywood-adored Barney’s, who closed its doors in 2020. Now, the last old-school, luxury retailer standing is Bloomingdale’s — and one more bold-faced “B” to revel in its glory: Barbie.
In honor of Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” which releases July 21, Bloomingdale’s decided to go all out in celebrating Mattel’s iconic plastic doll, who we can only assume would be a loyal Bloomies customer if she ever manages to escape Barbie World. On June 20, the retailer announced a series of Barbie-themed exclusive products, collaborations and pop-up shops ahead of the film’s anticipated release on July 21.
Bloomingdale’s partnership with the Warner Bros. film features an exclusive ready-to-wear collection with the retailer’s in-house clothing brand Aqua — a retro and colorful lineup that includes everything from a pink plaid pleated skirt and pastel blue pantsuit, to a white tee embellished with the Barbie logo in pink glitter.
The site is also home to a Barbie Dream House Pop-Up Shop, which launches online June 20 and in-store July 13. The shop includes dozens of Barbie products — from Mattel’s official collectible Barbie and Ken dolls to a mini replica of Barbie’s Malibu Dreamhouse.
