Chances are your local brick & mortar (B&M) store is offering the same event too. It might be worthwhile to double check with a store associate to find out more. :)
I am curious what the hand-picked exclusive gift from Jenna Lyons will be. Usually the items they gift customers at these types of events are super lovely.
Will you be attending? Did you get the same email for your local J.Crew store? If so, please share! :)
Hmm...interesting! I am somewhat near the Charlotte store. I'm surprised they're not offering a % off after a certain amount as an incentive, although I guess the "gift" counts as that. Hope it's something good!
ReplyDeleteHi!, Just in case someone missed the email, this event is also happening at the downtown Seattle store. Same time and day.
ReplyDeleteWhy not Corte Madera or San Francisco??? Why why why??? Boo...
ReplyDeleteDC-Area JCAs: this is also happening at the Friendship Heights store @ the same date and time! Woot! :) Too bad I probably won't be able to make it. :( Enjoy, ladies (and gents!!!).
ReplyDeleteHmm... there's one coming up near me, but much as I appreciate a vague invitation, not going to make what would be a 40 minute drive in rush-hour traffic unless I know more about what's so special. Agree with AppGal; a money incentive should have been included - and a promise that the gift isn't a ruffly art tee.
ReplyDeleteDoes it mean that the new rollout is arriving to stores next week?
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Thanks for the tip!!

I don't want a gift, I want 20% off. I won't be going unless there is something more along those lines. I will call the store to check.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone notice that Banana Republic knocked off the JC Field Jacket in their new collection. It's so similar (they just added a belt) that it's breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteAsra: the jackets do look similar, but many stores carry similar styles. Personally, I've been so disappointed w/BR clothes lately. JC has done a good job w/making classics modern with their own twist, and I feel like that's what BR is trying to do, but it's not working!
ReplyDeleteQuestion: is this event for the JC Collection? Or is it just a handpicked items event? The JC Collection is quite expensive!
I received an e-mail for one of my local stores (There are two here).
ReplyDeleteJ. Crew at The Shops at La Cantera
San Antonio, Texas
It sounds interesting, but I won't attend because I have an event at school during the same time frame.
I received a mailed printed invitation for this event at the Corte Madera, CA store. Can't wait to see what it's all about!
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't get this email. Are these areas lacking in Full Price sales/purchases?
ReplyDeleteNone of these areas are even within my driving distance.
I'd rather get 20% off than a gift. If you do go let us know what this gift from 'Jenna' is.
That's my birthday :) Wish I could go.
ReplyDeletecortney_joy: Hurray! So, they will be doing it at Corte Madera...is it something you *have* to have the invite to attend? Or can you just show up? If you can just show up, I'd love to go...what is the date and time for the Corte Madera event? TIA!!
ReplyDeleteI received a hand-written note from my PS regarding a similar event to see the new fall pieces. (A nice touch I think) She said we'd get 10% off in store during the event.
ReplyDeletePatsyStone, I don't think you have to be invited, I heard salespeople telling customers about it when I was there today. It's 8/19 from 5-7pm.
ReplyDeleteWas at Woodfield today, SA was clearing out the sale area and I asked her if there new merchandise coming, she said yes Monday is the new rollout!
ReplyDeleteThanks, cortney_joy! I think I'll stop by!
ReplyDeleteOur H-Town Galleria store is having this event. I received my invite in the mail the other day. I was told that they are being upgraded to a Lux store, so they will have a lot more collection pieces, etc.
ReplyDeleteFYI for Chicagoland JCAs- Oakbrook is having this event as well, same place, same time.
ReplyDeleteI received my invitation in the mail. The Orlando store has also become Luxe, so hopefully we will start to get some of the Collection items, too.
ReplyDeleteWish this were happening in NYC! The gifts are usually really, really nice jewelry items. Last winter at the NYC collection store event I got a pink pearl necklace, similar in style to the Glass pearl necklace but even lovelier! I wear it all the time and still love it as much as I did the day of the event.
ReplyDeleteTo those JCAs in earlier time zones - if you go and see what the gift is, would you mind posting it here afterwards? Haha. I'd like to know beforehand if it's worth going, if at all possible!
ReplyDeleteAlso, what sorts of Collection items do the Lux stores receive? I want to know if the downtown Seattle store is Lux, though I kind of doubt it because I feel all our stores are kind of small. I have seen items that are technically Collection in all the stores though, like the velvet skirt.
