Italy on Sixth Avenue

They love the coincidence that is March 10 at Mario’s — see, if you abbreviate it just right, omit the space, and take some creative liberties, Mar10 equals Mario, which is more or less Mario’s, and that seems like reason enough to have a promotion.
This year’s iteration is all about Italy; today’s finale party transforms the homegrown department store into a trattoria — with a giant prize wheel. Shoppers who have purchased at least $200 worth of designer fashion and/or accessories get a chance to give it a spin and win prizes from Etro, Jil Sander, Prada, Emilio Pucci, Narciso Rodriquez, Pringle of Scotland and more.
But wait… there’s more. Score a special edition tee-shirt designed by local artist Fay Jones for $38 and feel extra good in it knowing that proceeds will benefit Coyote Central, a Seattle dot-org that matches junior-high aged artists with working artists and watches, and listens and learns, as great things come of the pairings. Raffle tickets for fashionable prizes also feed into the Coyote Central fund so go early, buy often, and channel the luck of the, uh, … Italian.
