FS: 50% off any Bally item in their UK stores.

I have a Bally letter from their London Bond Street store offering 50% off any single item.
This was given to me in settlement as they were unable to repair or directly replace a pair of shoes which had a fault.

This discount has no expiration date or value limit so technically it could be worth over £600 if buying one of their men's bags (and several hundred £s more for one of their exotic women's ones).
Although even for a basic pair of leather shoes, it would give you over £150 off and closer to £250 off a pair of dress boots.

It's valid for use in any of the UK stores (inc. airports) although it would be best to advise the Bond Street store prior to using it elsewhere so that they could let the appropriate store know that it's genuine etc.


25th Jan 2011 price drop - Now asking: GBP £75 inc. delivery

Price reduction.
Surely someone in the UK is planning on buying something at Bally?

Another price reduction. Represents a decent saving for anyone looking to make a Bally purchase, even during the sales.

Bally makes nice stuff, though sadly they aren't as well known as LV, Prada, and the like, and rarely have an "it" bag.

Nevertheless, their classic men's leather goods (especially briefcases, laptop bags, document carriers, etc.) tend not to make it to markdowns, so half off would be worth it.

An 800 pound retail bag for 400 would be a good deal, especially for an item that doesn't go on sale, and even at 485 pounds would be decent. I don't know that Bally quality is worth 800 pounds, but I don't think you'd find anything similar for 400.

Good luck with the sale! Unfortunately, though, given the lack of recognition of the brand and also that they have "outlets" for many items, it might be tough.

Unfortunately it's for stores only as it's an actual letter from Bally, rather than a code etc. I would be willing though, given I'm on Bond St most weeks, to pick up a particular item from that store at 50% off and ship anywhere should it be required. I'd obviously require payment in advance (for the item price minus the discount + letter cost + shipping) as Bally don't typically offer refunds for 'change of mind'.

That was close - Was going to use this today but never got a chance to do any shopping.
Had postponed until Sunday.

The letter states that it can be used on anything in store so assuming they sell the Golf bag, it should be fine (I can call them to check they stock the exact item you require).
PM me your email address and I'll scan a copy for you to look over.

(Jeez, just seen the Golf bag is $9000 and OOS on the Bally US online store - quite a saving, if it's available!)

LOL yeah, it is quite expensive. I would never pay 9k outright and even 4.5k is pushing it but possibly doable. I PMed you with my email address. Thanks. -Craig
