Shecky’s

Fashion week access, schmaltzy events and designer previews might seem like things reserved for the ladies on Sex and the City or the editors of Vogue, but with Mintbox.com, you can get exclusive behind-the-scenes access to fashion events and VIP retail events at some of your favorite stores nationwide.

Mintbox.com, an invitation-only site started by girlfriends Pialy Aditya and Zoe Neuschatz (who also happen to be girlfriends of mine that I met through fashion designer Thuy), acts as your “personal style concierge” to provide insider discounts and plenty of perks! Simply add Mintbox to any credit card and receive invites to private sales, exclusive events, designer previews, tickets to Fashion Week and more. Shop in partnered stores or online at Mintbox.com with your registered credit card, and you’ll earn points and get up to 15% back on your purchases.

What I love about this dynamic duo is that they’re avoiding the entrepreneurial fad of launching another flash sale site. Part of Mintbox’s mission is to help brick and mortar retailers develop greater relationships with loyal customers and in turn offer customers great perks for being so loyal! Like Shecky’s, Mintbox enables exclusive and cool “offline” shopping and brand experiences. So if you’re not a great fan of online shopping and prefer to touch and feel the goods you buy—Mintbox is worth checking out.

PS: You’re invited! To join now, enter code SHECKYS on Mintbox.com.

Enjoy!
