The Boutique’s summer sale is winding down, and the shop’s shelves currently hold a bounty of upmarket fall separates in beautiful autumn colors and patterns.

But the shop’s real autumn treat is the Shortline window display mounted by boutique co-manager, Peggy Romenesko … a fabulous array of upmarket and designer purses and handbags

for fall and winter, complemented by a selection of autumn tops and cover-ups.

I went over to witness the display’s debut the morning after it was set up, and the window already was attracting “oohs” and “ahhs” from a gaggle of would-be shoppers. There were a couple of gorgeous Brahmin bags with their signature embossed or textured leather in beautiful, rich colors. Coach bag lovers will swoon over the display’s five or six beauties in a nice palette of colors. And women who love Vera Bradley’s printed fabric bags will be surprised to find an all-black beauty in the mix of colorful floral prints.

I personally admire Peggy’s eye for color, style and panache, and this stunning selection of top-end bags is beautifully complemented by a selection of the shop’s very best autumn tops and cover-ups in fantastic rusts, golds, and browns.

Every item in this tempting pastiche is for sale, with prices ranging from $10.00 for a sweater (there are four size medium beauties in the mix) or the Buxton wallet to $100.00 for a Coach bag.

To purchase an item from the window, call Peggy Romenesko and give her the letter and number of the item you want. (If leaving a message, state the item’s letter and number plus your name and phone number; Peggy will return your call and confirm your purchase.)

All items will remain in the window until the display is turned over in mid-September and Peggy installs a new array of goodies.

Buyers can pick up and pay for their window purchases at the Boutique on Tuesday, September 20 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (first display). Purchase from the second display can be picked up and paid for at the boutique on Tuesday, October 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Charlestown’s Ladies’ Boutique, on the Terrace Level of Herbert’s Run, is open every Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The inventory is ever-changing, and the prices are phenomenal. Watch this blog and MyErickson Daily Happenings for notices of special boutique events and services.
