Orla Kiely SS16 Mainline: Textured Leather in Nude and Denim

This season's textured leather bags come in the colors Nude and Denim. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Nude colorway - a creamy shade with gorgeous pinky undertones. I want every single piece in this color, but of course I have to be realistic so I have my favorites narrowed down to the Jeanie and the Tillie Bag. The Denim is also an awesome color - so different from anything I've seen from Orla Kiely in a long time. I think this deep blue shade looks fantastic on the Mini Bay Bag.

£350
I love the Jeanie Bag for its structure and streamlined look. I have this style in the Scribble Sunflower print and I've enjoyed that bag so much that I'd like to add another to my collection.

£320
These large Tillie bags remind me of the Louis Vuitton Neverfull (which I someday hope to own!) - I like how spacious they are, which make them perfect for work. According to the website, the Nude colorway has a green resin coating on the inside. I wish they showed a picture of this because I'm quite curious what shade of green it is. It doesn't seem like any would pair well with the Nude, but then again, Orla Kiely is a genius at choosing colors and pairing them together so I'm sure it looks fantastic.

£290
This style is another favorite of mine - I have one in the Lemon colorway and it's such a great bag to wear for casual outings.

£340
Another style I don't own yet is this Rosemary Bag. Once again, I prefer the Nude colorway because I really like the orange enamel closures.

£180

£150

£60
Eek, more bag charms in more colors! You all know how much I've been loving mine in the Chalk colorway and I would love to have one in every color so I'm glad to see that Orla Kiely has kept this style as part of the collection.

I really love the nude sweet pea bag with the orange clasp! - T

That one is really cute, but the Sweet Pea Bags are SO small. Do you own one yet? My brother got me one for my birthday this year and while I love it, I feel like I'm so limited when I wear it because it's just so small.
