A little preview of the Petrune party dresses for spring, made by “One Swell Gal” designer Natasha Keller, in our upstairs studio. This strapless number features a black cotton sateen bodice with boning for shape, with a patterned cotton skirt. So cute.
Here are some of those colors we were talking about! Now if only the weather would cooperate…
Okay, we know: in Ithaca, spring is still a long way off. Still, the days are getting brighter and lasting longer, and we find ourselves wanting to get a haircut, wear lighter colors, clean out a closet or two and maybe go for a little vacation. Colors for spring 2010 at Petrune feature lots of bright yellow, silvery grays, palest greens and the whole range of purple, from lavender to deep violet. We are also loving poppy red and turkish blue.
There are lots of new arrivals, all 10% off for all our Facebook fans through the month of February. Become a fan and get a jump on your spring wardrobe!

25% off of Women’s Tulle, B.B Dakota, Suzy Chin, and Jax, Men’s Cloth Logic and Alternative Apparel, and some great vintage pieces!
Check out our men’s department on the second floor.
We have everything from vintage toggle coats, Hawaiian shirts and Lacoste jackets, to brand new argyle socks, leather wallets, and gloves.
Baby it’s cold outside. Time to check out our great selection of coats. There is some dynamite cashmere from the 1950’s, when “cashmere” meant warm soft and endlessly durable. We also have a couple of 60’s era faux leopard coats so you can look sophisticated like Mrs. Robinson in “The Graduate.” Warmest of all, there’s shearling, beaver, and mink, some real, some faux, all vintage.
Just arrived: cherry red pair of Balenciaga sandals. They are marked size 7 1/2, but fit more like a 6 1/2. There’s only one pair here- so maybe you can be the lucky one. Come see!
It’s getting down to the wire for holiday gift ideas. We have lots of bags made by “One Swell Gal,” Natasha Keller, our in house designer and fashion maven.
More gift ideas: For ladies, we have lots of warm leather gloves, wooly scarves, sassy French Berets, cozy cashmere socks, essential oil perfumes, and scented soy candles from Southern Alchemy. For men, there are sleek leather wallets, ski sunglasses, leather jackets, felt hats, and cashmere sweaters.
Petrune is proud to be a part of the Local Lovers Challenge, which is designed to encourage Ithacans to do their holiday shopping locally. Check out their website for a list of participating businesses: www.localfirstithaca.org.
Just pick up a card at any participating business, get stamps at each business you visit (no purchase necessary!), and when your card is full, fill in the back and drop it in a box! You’ll be entered to win cash cards in the amount of $50, $150, and $250, as well as gift certificates to local shops.
As part of Local Lovers, we are participating in 10% on the 10th- That means that on December 10th, Petrune will be taking 10% off of EVERYTHING in the store, along with over two dozen other participating businesses.
Volume Records, which is located upstairs inside our store, will also be taking 10% off of all records! With new and vintage clothing and accessories for men and women and thousands of LP’s, you could get all your shopping done in one place! Supporting two local businesses and getting your Christmas shopping done in one store; not bad for a day’s work.
