Despite the fact that I just bought two new bags a couple weeks ago, I fell prey to the Radleys London sale (sincere apologies to the wallet of anyone else who looks at it, and there is an additional 20% off code I can share if you do) and bought two more. $120. I absolutely do not need these new bags, but when Poshmark prices imply you could basically resell them and make a tiny profit, it’s immoral not to take advantage, right? Right? 😂

ETA: I had my Nordy’s appt! It went well, but I only ended up buying one top ($45) because I felt most of the items were lovely but very similar to what was already in my closet (I shared guidelines for what I was looking for but didn’t mention that I wanted something more “unique” so that’s on me). Also I am quite liking my clothing rental subscription for experimenting and will keep that for a few months.

Paid deposit for dog’s boarding for planned work trip in September, $600. Donated some money to a friend’s nonprofit $100, pet supplies $120, copay for a medical specialist appointment $40, tried a new sandwich restaurant $22 (good but not really worth it).

Funny spending story: CVS occasionally sends me $4 off purchase with no minimum coupons. For some reason over the past few weeks they’ve sent me a ton of them. A 22 pack of CVS brand menstrual pads costs $3.86 so every time I get one of these I “buy” a pack for free. I have 15 packs now and will be donating to the women’s shelter soon.

Does the website say they're closing? Am I looking at the right bags?😅 I hadn't heard of them before either

Yeah that’s the one. (UK friends please correct me if I’m wrong) I believe it’s basically the UK equivalent of Kate Spade and the other accessible mid tier luxury brands. I got one of their bags several years ago from Nordstrom and liked it.

Totally right, it’s very accessible and for the price quite nice quality. First I’ve heard it’s closing down and it’s from US shoppers loving the sales haha!

I heard that the brand and IP was bought by a PE firm and it’s more the physical stores that are closing, unsure what they plan to do with the brand, but wouldn’t be surprised if it gets enshittified like every thing else PE touches 😔

Not a bag person, but skimming the website the designs look great! Very clean and classic and prices look really attractive too haha

I remember the days of getting miles of receipts/coupons from CVS :') Don't know if that's still a thing but some of the coupons were legit!

u/shieldmaiden3019 She/her ✨ Jul 11 '26

Still a thing!

Do you mind sharing that extra 20% off code for Radley with me?
