Spring is just around the corner, and Orla Kiely's SS15 Etc looks are the perfect way to transition from winter to the new season. The Etc collection is fabulous as always, which makes me all the more excited to see what her Mainline collection will bring. In the meantime, check out the lookbook below and shop the entire collection here.

Hi I have bee following your blog for some time now. I am looking to purchase my first Orla Kiely bag (leather) and wanted your opinion on the Sixties Stem Punched leather Ivy bag or the Laurel Backpack both in Hazel - I can't decide between them!!! Any advice would be grateful :-)
Hi Sarah! Thank you so much for being a long-time reader :) Glad to hear you're getting your first Orla Kiely purse! I own both the Ivy Bag and Laurel Backpack, and I love them both, so I think your decision will come down to what you will be primarily using the bag for. I think the Laurel Backpack is awesome because you can wear it several different ways - shoulder bag, crossbody, or backpack. However, in my opinion, it looks best as a backpack and looks slightly too big to be worn as a shoulder bag. I wear this to work everyday as a teacher, and I find it so convenient to pack whatever papers I need and throw it over my shoulders. Now the Ivy Bag has a more classic look and can be worn as an everyday shoulder or crossbody purse...but not as a backpack. So if the backpack feature is what you like the best, then I'd say go with the Laurel, but if you want something more classic and find that you will be wearing more of a shoulder bag look, I'd say go for the Ivy. Hope this helps! Let me know what you end up with :)
Thanks Stephanie for your really helpful advice. I'm leaning towards the Laurel Backpack as it serves so many purposes and will last me for a long time. Although I have just had an email luring me to the new Spring/Summer collection - there are so many stunning bags to choose from! I will keep an eye out for your blog update as I know you have been eager to see the new collection :)

Hi Sarah! I'm glad I was able to help :) You will love the Laurel Backpack. Mine was a Christmas present from my Mom and I've used it everyday ever since. The new collection is simply amazing, and many pieces are tempting me! Do you have any favorites yet? And did you see this season's version of the Laurel Backpack?
I love the scribble sunflower dress in evergreen & the busy bee side pleat dress!! Ooh this seasons Laurel backpack is so cute :) Think I'm going to take a much needed to the Capital to see the collection in real life very soon :)
Yes, the Scribble Sunflower print is my new favorite of the season! And the Busy Bee print is quite cute, too :)
