Designer Chris Benz will be collaborating with Lancôme for a limited edition gift with purchase, aka GWP, from June 14th-25th, 2011. Lancôme has been a proud sponsor of American designer Chris Benz’s fashion shows for several seasons and last Spring we collaborated on a special lipstick, Chris & Tell, for our Pout-à-Porter designer lipstick collection. What’s next? Lancôme and Chris Benz are excited to partner on a limited-edition gift with purchase which will be sold exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue and saks.com from June 14-June 25.

The celebrated designer and frequent Lancôme collaborator is loved by celebrities like Jessica Szohr, Susan Sarandon, Elettra Wiedemann and Eva Amurri and now he’s created a tote solely for Lancôme customers. Beginning June 14th, customers will receive the complimentary Chris Benz-designed tote with any $60 purchase, up to a $119 value. Printed with a chic, stylized silhouette, the exclusive design makes the perfect summer accessory.

Packed with Lancôme must haves (Définicils Precious Cells Mascara and Absolue Hand) you have the option to select your moisturizer (Absolue Premium BX or Absolue Precious Cells) and your pink (L’Absolu Rouge in Pink Sapphire, Juicy Tubes in Moulin Rose & Blush Subtil in Rose Fresque) or coral (L’Absolu Rouge in Fleur Impressioniste , Juicy Tubes in Coral Rush & Blush Subtil in Shimmer Coral Sunset) makeup trio to tote inside the Benz bag.

To celebrate the collaboration, Chris Benz will make a personal appearance at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City on June 23rd from 5 -7 p.m., toasting the fashion-forward partnership. Stop by:)
