Boyds rolls out summer sale

unnamed-1We appreciate it when a retailer starts summer sales before the Fourth of July when there’s lots of time to enjoy a sweet frock and strappy sandals.

In fact, summer doesn’t start officially for two more weeks but Boyds of Philadelphia is already celebrating the season with markdowns of up to 40% on all spring and summer clothes, shoes and accessories.

Gotta love the labels. Think Alexander McQueen, Escada, John Paul Gaultier, Rag and Bone and other faves.

 

As always, there’s free valet parking at the store at 1818 Chestnut St. Boyds also offers free custom alterations.
