This is highly dangerous news. I never thought the day would come when I could announce this on decor8… But I’ve been wishing for it for years now… The availability of Orla Kiely in the states, online, with reasonable shipping rates. They’ve just launched a brand new site for both International and US shoppers and I couldn’t be happier. They have everything available. Stationery, bags, clothing, it’s all there and waiting for us to pounce. They are currently adding their home collection so stay tuned for that.
I placed a bag in my shopping cart to double check shipping costs before writing this to make sure that what I’m stating is true (pinch me, it is!) and to FedEx a bag to New Hampshire was only $15. When I tried to shop them before a single bag was over 50,- pounds (nearly $100 USD!) to ship. Also, all of the prices are listed in USD. This is huge news people. I can’t wait to see what they stock in their home section. I’m hoping for throws and pillows…

Ooh, ooh! Big news indeed! Now I feel extra-motivated to work hard and make lots of money!

Grr. Bad news for South Africans. They don’t ship here. Lots of people won’t ship to Africa, and there’s something a bit distasteful about that policy, if you ask me!

This is sooo dangerous. I discovered this last week acidentally. I went to the site to take a look at the wallpaper patterns and found the USA link. Blis.

hmmm, dangerous indeed. but the clothes are still way out of my price range, even though they are on sale. One can dream though :)

This is indeed fabulous- shipping costs stopped me from getting a jump on paper line by ordering directly! However, I have already ordered a wallet from the USA site and received it- to CA- in a record two days! Excellent!

Uhhhh… I can already hear my bank account draining as I type this!

Happy day, Happy day! Off to shop, now!

And! Did you see on Homebug that Orla will soon be making sheets!? I freaked out a few weeks ago when I saw Orla had a US site with $10 shipping, and then I heard she’s making the sheets. I am so excited!

SOOO exciting. Thanks for letting us know! Must start crafting wish list.
