Is Polène a good brand? This really gets to the heart of things, no? I think embedded within it are two questions. First: Does Polène offer good value for money? This is a simple question with a complex answer. The guiding principle of designer handbags is that we are all,....
A quick message to point out some Frenchy sales today (and some extras): Violette is 20% off sitewide and 25% off sale — a good time to pick up some Bisou Balm Victoria Beckham is 20% off sitewide, with free silver eyeliner with purchases over $100 Kway is 15% off....
