A question for the PH ladies – Radley handbags

[adycav]

My wife has mentioned that she likes Radley handbags a couple of times. I was thinking of buying her one as a surprise Easter present – I usually only get some cheapo egg, except for when we first started going out 10 years ago when I got her an Easter bouquet as well.

How much do they cost? Are they worth the money? Will she be pleased? Will she be sufficiently overcome to allow my spending of many pounds on a 911 at the end of the year?

Rar Rar Radley!

They are, in the scheme of things, rather cheap.

I've bought a couple as gifts. Less than £200, iirc.

MY OH loves hers (her second one) - she bought it in the January sales for about £120 IIRC.

They are not overly expensive. They are worth the money because your wife will be pleased. However, a Radley handbag is not, I'm sorry to say, comparable with the purchase of a 911

My wife has about five,they frequently have sales in the big stores,she has only paid over the hundred pound mark once.

[L4URA]

Not that expensive and they are very good quality. It will earn you brownie points and i'm sure she will be very happy. Should my other half be reading this... Take note!

Don't know, by the end of the year, with 996 prices moving the way they are... anyway, a handbag for a car, that's pretty much a ballance-and-check as far an man-economics goes.

my OH loves radley bags...

you can get really good ones cheap if you search (i got a nice one for £60 on a BA flight once) and they are good quality too - which makes them worth the money IMO.

Radley is always a safe bet when purchasing for a lady.

One of her presents last year from me... its win-win. She will love you, and it doesn't hurt your wallet... (more money for petrol)

[kit80]

They are a bag with a scotty dog on it? I dont get it. 911 for me please

[Neil_H]

5 quid from China, she'll never know the difference. That's less than an easter egg these days!!!111

[adycav]

Sounds like a winner then. Makes a change from the all-packaging-no-product Easter egg I usually go for.

There's a Radley outlet shop at that place just outside Oxford.... didn't check if you're close to there though.

Yes Radley bags, very nice, bought me Mum one for Xmas.


(Iprefer Mulberry myself but they're £500+, might help with the 911 issue though;))

But they're an investment, in my world anyway!
