‘Tis the time of year when sales abound. While I love the idea of a proper sale, nothing disappoints me more than when markdowns are hyped, only to arrive at the store to find a meager rack with random sizes. In hopes of helping local fashionistas find sales worth their time and hard earned dollars, I recently got a sneak peek of the upcoming sale items at the luxurious lingerie boutique Agent Provocateur.
The cheekily named ‘Reduce ‘n’ Seduce Sale’ kicks off on Thursday, June 30, and I can verify that an ample amount of exquisite lingerie and nightwear will be marked down. Reductions will be up to 50% off and are available while in stock. Sale options range from classic and refined, to the (ahem) more flirty.
During a recent visit with the nice gals at Agent Provocateur , I got a firsthand look at the sale items and the overall boutique experience. Located at 123 Newbury Street just below the street level, stepping into the boutique makes one feel like they’re in a glam pink and black boudoir. From the overly plush carpeting, to the lacy motif on the walls and black chandeliers, I couldn’t help but appreciate the thought that went into creating a signature experience for Agent Provocateur shoppers.
Helpful associates, like the lovely Betsy and Nicole, add to that experience. Decked in figure flattering coats and hosiery, their job is to make even the most shy customers feel comfortable. Only one size of each lingerie item is displayed throughout the store, allowing associates to best help shoppers select the correct size and recommend similar options. It’s this personalized attention, combined with in depth of knowledge about lingerie construction and fabric choices, that keep well heeled Bostonians coming back each season.
Agent Provocateur is located at 123 Newbury Street, between Clarendon and Dartmouth. For more information about the sale, please visit the Agent Provocateur website. Happy shopping!
