This Orla Kiely Bag

[goldylock]

Hello there,

I have fallen in love with this Orla Kiely bag. I am in Ireland. I cannot find it for sale anywhere else in Ireland.

Does anyone know of anywhere in the UK I could buy it/ship to Ire?

Thanks 😊

The website says they ship internationally

Thanks. Sorry, I should have been clearer in my Op (can't edit).

For Ireland anyway, the bag is sold out.

I've bought from OK before, no probs. Just it's sold out.

I see what you mean, its only available from Orla Kiely but not available to ship to Ireland. I can’t find any other stockists.

I just took it to the step before payment and I can order it from OK to be sent here to Scotland. All I can think of is that if you know someone in the UK send it directly to a UK address, or use a parcel forwarding service. I believe they deal with import taxes etc.

Thanks. I don't know anyone in the UK.

It will ship to Ireland. It's just on the Ireland site, it is sold out.

Am going to email Orla Kiely itself and see if they've any UK ones unsold.

Have you checked eBay?

Thanks. Yes, have looked on ebay. No luck there either.

If it’s discontinued, worth a look in TK Maxx.

Or, if OK has a shop in Kildare Village?

An post have a parcel forwarding service, you get it delivered to their UK address and they forward it to you. You will have to pay import charges.

Thanks. I can't even get onto the UK site as it just diverts me to the Ireland site (IP address, I guess).

You could try using a vpn. The bag is lovely, I hope you can find it.

Also, I’m sure I saw this bag in the Kilkenny Shop?

No, I've tried there too 😅.

I really have tried in Ireland. And ebay. Only option I think is to find a shop in the UK and try get it shipped.

Thanks. No idea on tech/vpns!

I've contacted OK. Hopefully they might help me.

I’ve checked and the only place it seems to be available online is from the international Orla Kiely sites. Lyst etc all lead back to the same place, its not in any other stores or boutiques in the UK, at least not ones that sell online.

Looks like you’re right that all you can do is telephone them and see if they’ll send you one from their UK stock.

Thanks all. Must remember this for future.

A little bit of hussling and back and forth with OK (as first response was "yea, It's sold out in the EU, sorry" but I persisted).

In case it helps anyone else in Ire:

I used incognito mode on my browser and subscribed/used the An Post parcel address and delighted I was able to purchase the bag.

It will no doubt have a custom charge into Ire, but for me is worth it.
