Dress for Duress

November 20, 2008March 25, 2012

Tell me you wouldn’t look great in this coat – reduced for the recession, like several of the other items at Charlesnolan.com.

What’s more, I have been authorized to share with you a secret promo code which gives you a further 20% off anything you buy. Just enter FF20 at checkout.

It even applies to this bright silver handbag, bringing your price down below $75 – the perfect gift for the woman in your life. You’d never know from looking at it, but it’s made from hundreds of soda can pull-tabs that would otherwise have become litter or landfill. Oprah featured it. Inside each is the name of the Brazilian woman who made your particular bag and the website to visit to read about her, and how this crafts cooperative is changing her life. The women I’ve shown it to love it. I think we should be selling it for $400, but what do I know.
