Media Release: Hoboken, NJ. USA. 07 January 2010

To our friends and colleagues!  Remember all the fabulous meetings with clients like Montblanc and members of the always-prescient Luxury Marketing Council? Or, great networking parties after work at our offices in lower Manhattan complete with strawberries, chocolates and champagne and the vibrant salon discussions with chief marketing officers of truly great brands? 

Since the undoing of luxury marketing, the recession has been evolving new entrepreneurs at a very rapid rate. We feel it's the most auspicious time to promote and support the new visions of our favorite clients and colleagues.

Our amazing client from Montblanc and Links of London, Colleen Goudie, recently launched ZIN HOME BOUTIQUE.  We are very excited about Colleen’s new venture.  Please accept our invitation to visit her new chic boutique and social salon. We will join you!

You just can’t beat the luscious scent in the air as you arrive at ZIN HOME BOUTIQUE located at 257 First Street between Willow and Park in Hoboken.

Founded by Colleen Goudie, who has held executive positions at of some of the most recognizable luxury good companies – Gianni Versace, Tiffany & Co., Montblanc and most recently, Links of London.  Colleen’s discerning knowledge and impeccable taste is identifiable when you visit ZIN. Colleen offers fabulous jewelry, clever gifts, great accessories and one-of-a-kind home décor.

 “I have always loved fine brands, unique things that no one else carries—or designers that haven’t discovered yet.  The brands that appeal to me are the ones that tell a story or have a strong heritage attached…these are my favorites because they typically possess qualities of lasting value.  It doesn’t mean that they are expensive…. But “just perfect”, says Goudie.  “I dreamed of opening an ‘affordable luxury’ store to share the things I have found and treasure. Hoboken seemed the perfect place to do it!”

ZIN is about finding the unusual--beautiful jewelry and very special gift items you won’t find anywhere else.  There are popular designers like Chan Luu, famous for her cashmere scarves and leather wrap bracelets, along with Joy Pardi Fazzone (everyone loves her fresh water pearl 5-strand necklaces with champagne teardrops and sapphires) to Miguel Ases’s stunning hand beaded chandelier earrings, usually seen on Kim Catrall or Oprah, to Jean Jurson’s gorgeous lariat necklaces and multi-strand bracelets…gorgeous for parties or dressing up bikini-wear an the beach. All in Hoboken at ZIN HOME BOUTIQUE.

You will also discover great Boho chic home décor items from chandeliers and lamps to teapots and mercury glass vases.  Not to miss are the handmade throws, fabulous patent leather coin purses and leather wallet clutches in fun, bright colors--cashmere hats and mittens, and unbelievable picture frames.

You can bottle up the luscious scents from the store with a selection of unusual candles, scented soaps and body butters in gorgeous wrappings. 

Let Colleen hear from you!  Visit during the special evening cocktail salons for hot business discussions with women execs.  Or, around noontime, after you visit ZIN HOME BOUTIQUE, have a great lunch with Colleen around the corner!
