Another Store Closing

Martin & Osa, a store under the American Eagle Outfitters Brands, is closing soon. I received an email today advertising an extra 30% everything online (no coupon code needed, 30% taken off in basket); at the bottom I saw that all sales were final. Usually final sales are reserved for clearance items, but this referred to everything and the reason was the closing of the brand.

Martin & Osa Silk A Line Tank, $69.50

While my closet isn't filled with Martin & Osa clothing, there are some great, quality items in there. I have several cashmere sweaters, silk tops and pants that I enjoy wearing (and I got for a steal on sale!). The brand is for women and men that have outgrown American Outfitters, but like younger and more playful styles than Banana Republic.

Martin & Osa Foil Racerback Tank, $24.50

Their summer tanks, tops and shorts are casual and perfect for weekends hanging out. Plus, there are some great summer bags, belts and lightweight scarves.

Martin & Osa Printed Snake Tote, $79.95

If you have a Martin & Osa in your mall, go there to find more sizes and colors. Also, check back often to see when the big price cuts start; 30% off isn't too much of a discount for a store closing. You are likely to find some steals in the coming month or so. The online is also likely to mark items down more in the upcoming weeks.
