15% off new Vanessa Bruno (+ sale bags) at Satine

by grechen on May 12, 2009 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

Yep. Use the “grechens15″ code for 15% off brand-spankin’ new arrivals from Vanessa Bruno at Satine Boutique. I was actually just this morning browsing some of the VB pieces over at La Garconne and thinking how perfect all of her pieces are – they’re so “easy” and casual chic with just the right amount of Parisian flair to pull everything together. I could honestly live in everything, but here are a couple of my favorite pieces at Satine:

$470

$275

And I’ve also got word from Satine that they’ve put a bunch of handbags on sale in-store 25% to 40% off AND when you call or e-mail to order, they’ll give you an extra 15% off of the sale price when you mention the “grechens15″ coupon code. Here’s a sample of some of the bags, if you’re interested, contact naomi (at) satineboutique.com for more pictures and ordering instructions.
