In preparation for Mother’s Day, the St. John boutique at Scottsdale Fashion Square will host an open house event on Saturday, April 30, from 2 to 8 p.m. Customers are invited to stop by to enjoy champagne and treats, as well as shop the Pre Fall 2011 Collection. Certain shoppers will even be eligible to take home a special free gift.

Take Mom shopping this Saturday for some mother-daughter dress-up time at St. John. The Pre Fall 2011 Collection features timeless, effortless looks that pair luxury fabrics with contemporary silhouettes. The styles remain true to the brand’s American sportswear past while incorporating updates that still satisfy the modern, sophisticated St. John woman of today.

Founded in 1962 by Robert and Marie Gray, St. John has long been lauded for its innovative knits and consistency of product throughout the garments’ design and manufacturing processes. The brand’s six distinct fashion collections are sold by top specialty stores in 26 countries.

While the levels of expansion are impressive, St. John’s 27 company-owned retail boutiques keep the label’s availability exclusive, and the St. John boutique at Scottsdale Fashion Square is the only dedicated store in the Phoenix metro area.

At the Mother’s Day Open House, browse jackets, tops, dresses, bottoms, accessories and more while enjoying champagne and light fare. Plus, shoppers will receive an exclusive St. John charm bracelet with a purchase of $1,295 or more. See the invitation below for details.

St. John is located at Scottsdale Fashion Square at 7014 E. Camelback Road, Level 1, in Scottsdale 480.941.4323
