    Threads Replaced by PB Teen

    Looks as if Pottery Barn isn’t so ready to give up it’s tony Second Avenue retail space. Last month, we reported that the Threads concept store was closing. In it’s place will be PB Teen, which is slated to open March 21st.

    PBteen began as a catalog and web site in 2003, and the first stand alone store opened in Atlanta, in Oct. 2008. The brand describes itself as “a fun line of exclusive furniture and accessories from Pottery Barn, created just for teenagers.”

    We imagine that teens in Atlanta might dig the concept but children in NYC– on the Upper East Side– are much more sophisticated. We wouldn’t be surprised if the store demographic skews downwards from teen to the 4 to 9-year-old age bracket.

    Juicy Couture Friends and Family

    We are going to start this off by saying that there isn’t a person here who has over owned, worn, will own, or will ever wear a velour track suit. Now that we have that out of the way…

    Juicy Couture is hosting a friends and family sale where “almost” absolutely everything –except fragrances and strollers–will be 25% off. The promotion runs from March 19 to March 22nd and is only valid at Juicy Couture retail locations. So go to the Fifth Avenue store and don’t fight with a Bloomingdales sales associate.

    We cannot and will not be responsible for how this coupon is used. We’re just going to hope it’s for shoes or something for your kids.

    Bloomingdales Spending Incentives

    Bloomies likes when you spend and loves when you spend big. The current store promo offers shoppers a discount that increases with the more you spend. The breakdown is below:

    Spend $100 to $249.99 and save $25
    Spend $250 to $499.99 and save $50
    Spend $500 to $999.99 and save $100

    The shopping incentive runs until Sunday, March 22nd. On a quick run through the fourth floor we spotted winter boots 50% off and a rack of shoes ranging from 30% to 50% off. There was even a pair of berry colored Chanel flats on the discount wall!

    Gap Give and Get

    There are few things we love more thank cause related marketing. It’s a win-win situation, especially when the store is offering 30% off.

    When you shop online or in-store at Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy from March 12th to March 15th you’ll get 30% off your purchase. What’s even nicer is that 5% of what you spend will be donated to a Gap non-profit partner of your choosing.

    We chose the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society but other options include, Teach for America, Feeding America, Boys & Girls Club, WWF and The Global Fund.

    Petit Bateau Discount Promo

    Even sweet Petit Bateau is feeling the pinch of a 6500 Dow. Right now, the Madison Avenue boutique is offering a discount promotion if you sign up for their mailing list. The more you spend the more you save. What’s even better is that the savings can be applied to your current purchase (unlike department gift card promotions.)

    The promotional breakdown is as follows:

    Spend $150 and save $30 (20% off)
    Spend $120 and save $20 (16.7% off)
    Spend $80 and save $10 (13.5% off)

    If you don’t have $150 to spend find a friend to pad your bill. After all, it’s never possible to have too many tee-shirts.
