I went to the Wyoming Valley Mall the other evening, and I have to admit that my trip was more satisfying than usual. Christmas music was playing over the intercom, the store windows were decked out for the holidays and Wilson’s Leather had just opened for the season. Lucky for us, I went in to check it out.

As I walked into the store, I noticed a sign in the doorway announcing their Buy 1, Get 1 50% Off Accessories Sale, so I made a beeline for the handbags. But before I could reach my destination, I was greeted by a friendly sales associate and handed a 20% off your entire purchase coupon. I thought to myself, “Double Score!”

Now keep in mind that I’m a total purse snob. I know women, and we all have that one thing we’re very picky about. Usually it’s shoes, perfume or panties, and for me, it’s all about the handbag. I haven’t bought a purse outside of Manhattan in two or three years, but because of Wilson’s Leather, that’s about to change.

Wilson’s Leather, open in the Wyoming Valley Mall as of last Friday, has an impressive stock of handbags and wallets that are sure to turn any fashionista’s head. These luxurious leather handbags range from $39.99-$59.99. Wallets are a steal at only $19.99- $29.99. The Maxima style handbag, pictured, comes in a variety of colors including red, pink, black and plum. Also pictured are Pelle Studio wallets sold in three sizes and a variety of colors including red, chocolate, brown and black.

Since you’ll probably be spending a lot of time at the mall over the next month, you may as well stop in and treat yourself. The Accessories Sale is currently running with no determined end date, and the 20% off promotion runs through November 21 at all seasonal locations.
