If you aren’t as familiar with GiGi New York, its one of my favorite handbag companies, based out of Long Island, New York. I’ve been ordering GiGi for years from their online site, but recently they decided to open a holiday shop in the heart of Manhattan (875 Washington Street). The store is filled with a wide range of beautiful leathers in a variety of colors. It is really the perfect place to experience everything in person and see all the detail first hand.

I visited the shop yesterday morning, and was surprised to see so many new designs not yet on their website (watch my Snapchat video below). As much as I enjoy online shopping, I tend to be that girl who likes to see, touch and experience something before investing which is exactly what this store allows. Although, there are many benefits of online shopping with one of them being discounts. You can find many coupons on PromoCodeWatch, which is a website that tracks other websites and will keep you up to date with their current offers. Whether you are getting an early start to shopping for the holidays or just treating yourself, they have something for everyone. Another benefit of visiting the store in person is that they have the calf hair collection and new suede bucket bags which aren’t yet online (pictured below).

If you live in NYC or happen to be visiting, GiGi New York is currently having a Friends & Family Sale, offering 30% off their ENTIRE store! Besides their handbags, I love giving the passport covers and luggage tags to brides-to-be with their new monogram, it makes for the perfect gift. Every Thursday and Saturday the store offers free personalization with your purchase! Also, the Standard Hotel (and so many other yummy places) is located right across the street if you wanted to grab a drink or bite to eat while in the area.
