(Sigh) Love her stuff but too fat and poor!!!! And in Hampshire at the moment!

Has anyone been to one of these? Is it worth trekking into town or is it still pretty pricey?

Is it mainly clothes?

Homewares as well

Also interested to know answers to above questions.

I've been to a few of the Orla Kiely sample sales. I bought a cashmere jumper for £50 which must have been pretty heavily reduced, although I don't know how much it was to start with. I also bought a bag in the spring for £180, which was about 50% off but still expensive. The bag is really well made and has held up really well with daily use.

Alwayscheerful - I'd say it was mostly bags / purses and clothes but there were also a few mugs / towels / kitchenware items.

the bags can be good - I got a few plastic ones years ago in a Brick Lane sample sale. good for presents etc
