The saying should go: if you can make it in the Hamptons, you can make it anywhere. Just ask Jennifer Bandier, founder of the game-changing luxury activewear boutique Bandier. Founded in Southampton in 2014, Bandier now encompasses five brick-and-mortar locations, an e-commerce business and three new stores are slated to open before the end of 2016. Bandier’s new Flatiron flagship also boasts its own boutique fitness studio with a rotating roster of A-list fitness instructors, a juice bar and a communal area. We spoke with the music exec-turned-fitness entrepreneur, who’s not only responsible for brands like Koral, Michi, Vie Active and Alala being thrust into the spotlight, but for making it “acceptable” to splurge on $400 yoga pants.
