WINTER SALE + MARIA LUISA = NOW!

Did you hear about the Winter Sale at Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa? If you’re a Maria Luisa regular, you probably know that we start our Winter Sale during the winter. Unlike many places that wait til their goods are “past the season” – sure, you still save but usually end up buying for the following year – our Winter Sale takes place during winter when you can still wear, give and enjoy your great (and thrifty) finds. If you’ve been following us on social media – and we hope you do – you’ve gotten a few glimpses at the great deals to be had during our Winter Sale, which is under way NOW.  Here’s a quick rundown of what you’ll find: Selected jewelry offered at savings up to 25%. Selected accessories and fragrances at savings of 20% to 40%. Winter clothing and footwear at savings of 25% to 50%+, and Furniture and home goods at savings of 25% to 60% off. So, those are the details of our Winter Sale – impressive, no? We hope we’ve tempted to you to come in and save. Think sweaters and wallets, boots and candles, earrings and journals, reading glasses and pants, baby gifts and cookbooks… we’re filled with options. Remember, this is the ideal time to spruce up your tired winter wardrobe, buy birthday gifts in advance, choose something special to wear on Valentine’s Day – or simply get a little something to make you smile. You deserve it! And after your smart shopping during the Winter Sale, perhaps you’ll also consider “rounding up” your purchase – it’s a super-easy way to make a donation to the ML by Maria Luisa Scholarship Fund by rounding up your total to the next dollar (or more). Look for complete details at our registers or simply ask us for the scoop. Visit us in both shops or online 24-7 at both marialuisaboutique.com or shoptiques.com. Thanks, as always, for reading – and we look forward to welcoming you to our Winter Sale. (And yes, we put Winter Sale in bold an awful lot of times, so now you can’t say you hadn’t heard about our… Winter Sale!!)

NEW YEAR, NEW MARIA LUISA…

So, how’s your new year shaping up so far?

We have to say that we are pretty excited about the possibilities of 2019 – a year that all of us at Maria Luisa are embracing as one of positive change.

We’re firmly powered up by the spirit of fresh starts.

“It’s going to be a year when I personally will be exploring more”

WELCOMING 2019-ML TEAM

Already, the ML Faves for Good team gathered to participate in the Jan. 5 “Resolution Run” to raise funds for the Nyack Hunger Coalition.  

And, registration has already begun for our favorite summer event, the team’s participation in the Women’s Distance Festival at Rockland Lake State Park in Congers. This year’s event, the 32^nd, will be held July 13; we hope you’ll participate in the 5K walk/run, cheer us on – or simply make a donation to our team effort to once again support the Center for Safety and Change.

In addition, we look forward to the fifth annual presentation of the ML by Maria Luisa Scholarship this spring, as well as all the community events we will be participating in throughout the year, from street fairs to sidewalk sales, the Halloween parade to the holiday season’s special events. (Check out our frequently updated community calendar for the lineup).

You’ll also notice the fresh start playing out in our shops, as we’ve embraced the new year as a chance to “freshen things up” overall, from new merchandise to new displays. We think you’ll like it; feel free to share your thoughts.

One of last year’s good (very good) things was the introduction of the results of our new collaboration with Nyack-based artist Johanna Goodman. We unveiled the award-winning illustrator’s latest work, an exclusive collection of totes, pillows and shower curtains for Maria Luisa, during our December holiday party and we can share that there’s plenty more, including a special Edward Hopper-inspired bag, pillows and shower curtains so stay tuned.

Also in the shops, we look forward to another year – our own 32^nd – of continued growth and reinvention.

As Maria says, “It’s going to be a year when I personally will be exploring more” – and that’s translating to sourcing new merchandise for the shops from local artists and artisans to taking that search international, literally, as she explores the world in search of fresh finds.

It’s all about inspiration, whether you find it gazing out over the Hudson – or in an artisan’s workshop or a street market halfway across the world.

We can’t wait to see how it all plays out but know it will all be good.

As Maria puts it – in no uncertain terms – “It will be a positive year.”

Who are we to argue?
