Think Runway, Shop Beltway: Bailey, Mid-City Thursdays

Project Beltway

If you’re planning to head over to the U Street/Adams Morgan area after work today for the Mercedes Bien Vintage event (which may be insanely crowded since the Post’s DC Scout picked it up on Tuesday), you might also wanna take advantage of the sales going on for Mid-City Thursdays…EVERY Thursday! As Supporter of Small Business points out, big chains have the money to quash small businesses and remove much-needed character from our fair city. So if you want to own unique items at fair prices and support cool indie boutiques, you should know about Third Thursdays.

Shopping locally is sort of the point of Think Runway Shop Beltway anyway….so if you’re a local designer or shop owner, I hope you’ll drop me a line!

Speaking of independent designers….
PB friend Bailey Handbags is offering PB readers a 30% discount (enter discount code SHOPBAILEY at checkout) through the end of July on her line of leather clutches, hobos, satchels & totes. I love the James Satchel in Midnight, and the Parker Tote looks like the perfect work-to-play bag (it’s currently sold out, but if you contact designer Lauren Bailey directly, I bet she can make you happy).

Through July 31

    I just bought a Kris Clutch for my sister for her 21st birthday and she absolutely LOVED IT!! and I’m not sure how I survived without my Parker Tote in the color “eggplant”… I get great comments on my tote everywhere from the supermarket line to meetings with clients!

    This is really a good deal—and because I already own 2, a great idea for gifts.

    I have the James Satchel and I absolutely love it! The Italian lambskin is so soft and the bag is the perfect size. I can’t decide next if I want the Miles Hobo or the Kris Clutch. The entire collection is fabulous!

    my 2 oldest daughters have the bailey bags and they are so beautiful, the leather is absolutely gorgeous and the copper inside of course is a great added feature for health reasons.
