Bric’s Milano

For this week’s edition of Don’t Miss Sample Sales, we’re taking you on a trip around the world. You’ll “visit” the UK by way of British brand L.K. Bennett and get some sun while shopping Dinosaur Designs, a funky Australian jewelry/home decor retailer.

Oh, and don’t forget about your luggage. Italia’s Bric’s Milano has you covered on that front.
