What:
BSM is hosting its second annual Knightsbridge holiday shopping boutique. Inspired by one of London’s most famous shopping districts, Knightsbridge, the school’s spacious Haben Center will be transformed “Brit-style” into a lively collection of 60 small boutique shops and market stalls: think Union Jack signing, Beatles music, English Breakfast Tea served in a Euro-style café, and rows and rows of stylish, must-have goods.
A fresh mix of merchants will offer a range of one-off creations, tasteful treats and high-end artisan goods including fashion, jewelry, cosmetics & skincare, home accessories, and even fancy food. Like its famous London namesake, BSM’s Knightsbridge caters to all tastes: vintage, eclectic, trendy, and timeless.
For those who crave the excitement of busting down the doors at midnight on Thanksgiving, BSM’s Knightsbridge is like Black Friday meets Small Business Saturday. The vibrant market-hall venue, sensational variety and brilliant values all come together for a day long “shop small” event not to be missed. And best of all, it happens a week before the madness of the holiday shopping season starts in earnest.
When:
Saturday, November 17, 2012, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Where:
Benilde-St. Margaret’s Haben Center– 2501 Highway 100 South, St. Louis Park
Cost:
Admission is free and the event is open to the public. All participating merchants will donate 15% of the day’s sales to BSM’s Parent Association. Proceeds will be used to help us reach our goal of providing truly outstanding educational opportunities for our students and school programs.
