OK, I know it isn't really tea they are selling but the brown and white stripes box, really. But what a crying shame. I remember in the early 80's, they were the ones that first brought in Comme des Garcons, Issey Miyake and all those new Japanese names and put them into that radical concept of a "shop within a shop". Never really saw anything like that before, and now, it is everywhere. Get better soon Henri. Somehow just buying stuff in brown and white boxes isn't quite all the same of what we remember you to be. Henri Bendel to stop selling fashion and selling boxes of tea?
