April 13 The BagTrends GREEN Arm Candy Party

A bag-a-liciously GREEN luxurious shopping party by BagTrends.com!

If you’re sick of the usual shopping parties with their over crowdedness and mixed bag of merchandise, this is the event for you. The BagTrends Green Arm Candy Party is part shopping, part spa, 100% bag-a-licious … and now GREEN too!

The first annual BagTrends Green Arm Candy Party, a spin off the signature BagTrends Arm Candy Party, is slated for April 13th at the Union Square Ballroom.

At the BagTrends Green Arm Candy Party there will be handbag designers (including Stella McCartney for LeSportsac and Ashley Watson) and eco “in the bag” essentials including makeup, stationary and small goods. BagTrends.com understands the Green Revolution has many paths and we hope to showcase the best organic designers, vegan designers, designers that practice upcycling and everything in between. They are being selective in the brands we choose to bring on board because in addition to being good for the environment, they need to be good for the bagista customers attending our signature event! As always, founder and resident Bag Guru, Pamela Pekerman, is personally overseeing the screening of all designers. Our motto: Granola is good to eat – granola fashion is not good to wear!

From the tips of your nails to your shoulders, the BagTrends Green Arm Candy Party will pamper and please. Come for the shopping and stay for the relaxing hand and shoulder massages. A select group of high-end, contemporary GREEN handbag lines will be selling their merchandise. Meet the designers, receive special discounts and enter for the chance to win handbags. Jewelry designers with an eco twist will also be on hand to bedazzle your delicate wrists and fingers with fun baubles. And, let’s not forget about the makeup, stationary and other “in the bag” essentials no bagista can live without!

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
