The 'New' ML Update

The construction dust is settling and we are moving on to the next phase of our renovation project. Now it's time to set up the 'new' ML by Maria Luisa.  Here is a tease peek.  

More to come...

At Maria Luisa Boutique, our new arrivals continue to create excitement among our friends and shoppers. Come see what the buzz is about.  

THE BEST-LAID PLANS

As you likely know, this summer is one of exciting changes in the Maria Luisa world.

We closed the doors of ML by Maria Luisa a few weeks ago to devote time to a renovation project that’s long been planned.

Well, as anyone who has gone through their own home renovation well knows, things always (ALWAYS!) end up taking longer than expected. Things are coming along in a lovely manner, it’s just a bit of a slower manner than planned.

We had originally hoped to re-open in mid-August but that estimate may have been a bit too hopeful; we can’t yet announce a firm re-opening date but stay tuned both here and on Facebook for construction updates and news about all that’s going on in Maria Luisa Boutique, where ML merchandise has found a comfortable yet temporary home.

We just wanted to take a moment to give you this update, as we’ve actually heard a few rumblings that a few people were saying that we might not be re-opening at all.

We want to set the record straight – ML by Maria Luisa will not only be back but will be better than ever. There will be physical changes, aesthetic changes – an overall freshening up to keep ML as vibrant as possible.

And when we are ready, you can expect not only a grand re-opening celebration – but also a refreshed and even-more-exciting place for you to shop. 

In the meantime Maria Luisa is in full swing serving all of our Maria Luisa  and ML supportive friends and customers.   ML

July 22, 2014 Update: How's the Renovation going at ML by Maria Luisa?

Preparing the floors

Today is July 22nd and I'm just back from a few days R&R relaxing... and back in Nyack on the renovation ML project.
Walls have new sheetrock, paint is on the walls and ceilings and some new elements are in place.

We're excited about ML's mini-renovation at Maria Luisa and can't wait to unveil the NEW ML. Stay tuned.

I must give thanks to the great, local talent that is working on our project (shout outs will come later). So for now, it's a one stop Maria Luisa and ML shopping experience with brand new deliveries daily and a grand Summer Sale as well.  We love seeing you so stop by soon.

The birthday parties continue… with our themed raffle

As we mentioned, July is the birthday month for some of the Maria Luisa team, including not only

Maria herself but also Susan and Haley.  We decided that makes it high time to really put our ongoing birthday promotion in the spotlight. You may have noticed the little teaser in each newsletter, us asking you to share your birthday with us. Well, we do that because it’s a way we can keep track of the ‘special days’ of our preferred customers.

And we’re not only sending you good wishes when you share the date – but we extend a special promotion to you, as well.  

If you stop in on your actual birthday, we offer you a 10% saving off your entire purchase.

If you can't come on the day itself, simply show us the personal email greeting as it includes a $5.00 coupon to spend in Maria Luisa Boutique or ML by Maria Luisa (valid for two weeks from your birthday).  

Hey, we like to celebrate!  And to really drive the point home, throughout July when you come in and share your birthday with us, you’ll not only be ‘registered’ to receive the above savings offer- but we will enter you into a drawing for that ever-stylish Maria Luisa T-shirt.

100% GOOD Pledge

You know we here at Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa are committed to more than just what’s “in fashion” today. Sure, we want to look great – but we also think a big part of feeling good in what you’re wearing comes from the “story” behind what you wear.

That’s why much of what we carry in both our shops reflects our commitment to community, to Fair Trade, to cultivating good. Long supporters of TOMS – that favorite shoe brand you’ve come to love for its comfort, look and commitment to giving a pair of shoes to someone in need for each purchased – we have just brought a new brand into our inventory. And we think they will become another Maria Luisa go-to. We’re now showing a canvas tie shoe from Dimmi Shoes, which is selling for $39.99.

The versatile, casual tie-up simply charmed us, from its delicate floral details to the way it seems to elevate the everyday lightweight sneaker into something extra. We’re already picturing it with boyfriend jeans, a sundress or even slipping into them on the way home from the beach or pool. And this brand does more than just look good, as its “100% Good” slogan promotes. The brand, said to be inspired by “the true good in people,” is designed to promote wellness, comfort and style while doing that good work.

You see, all – yes, 100% - of the wholesale profits will go to “advancing cures across the medical community.” This commitment to medical research will touch so many – and we’re proud to join the effort, as we think you will be, as well. It’s also good to know the company is devoted to developing best practices and to sustainable manufacturing. We can all get behind that, right? So, stop by ML by Maria Luisa to check out our first offering from Dimmi – and let us know what you think. Why not even send us a picture of you wearing your new Dimmi shoes, which we’ll happily post on our social-media outlets and help spread the word about this brand’s important work. And to show how we at Maria Luisa are taking the Dimmi model to heart, we pledge to donate 100% of all this year's profits from the sale of these shoes to the Nyack Rotary Club's fund to end polio.

At Maria Luisa we have another Pledge that we ask you to consider your support, it's the 'Say NO to the Bag' Pledge. We are committed to reducing the consumption of single use bags and other packaging.
