Orla Kiely SS17 Mainline: Giant Flower Leather in Lemon, Marshmallow, and Moss


Yay! Orla Kiely's Spring/Summer 2017 Mainline collection finally dropped earlier this week (I've been teased with links to these bags on their site...but there were no pictures! It seems to have been a glitch in their system). I'm always super excited for the Spring collection and this one did not disappoint (and surprisingly the US site got the new bags first!) Let's start off with what is probably my favorite - the Giant Flower Leather bags, shown here in the colorways Marshmallow (my favorite  - that peachy pink color is so pretty!), Moss, and Lemon. I love the single Giant Flower with its scalloped petals (although it does slightly remind me of a fried egg haha).

$525

The back features a contrast leather, which was initially a bit disappointing for me because I would have liked the design to continue to the back. But then I realized that I actually prefer this look because I often wear my bags cross body and I feel like the darker leather would prevent color transfer from jeans. The inside is made with a combo suede/Linear Steam jacquard lining.

$502
I think this is my favorite from this collection because I love wearing my bags cross body. However...

$368
...this similar style would be a close second favorite because I love the chain strap detail. I wonder how the size of this bag would look in comparison to the Fairfield Bag above. I do like small bags, but not too small, and I do have the Printed Check Leather Sweet Pea Bag, whose size limits me to using it as an evening bag.

$193

$65
I love card holders. They're my favorite type of wallet to use because they hold just your essentials, making them super compact to fit in any bag. This style is so cute, especially the Marshmallow version with its contrasting light blue on the reverse side.

I believe this is the first time the Zip Messenger has been available in the Embossed Flower Leather. It looks like it would make a lovely work bag.

Medium Zip Wallet
$105
I adore these little wallets. I do have this style in the Poppy Cat print, but I find that I baby it so much because I'm afraid the laminated canvas would stain easily. I feel like the leather on these wallets would make them more durable and easier to clean. I have a Sixties Stem Punched Leather Card Holder and it has held up quite well over the years - I haven't had to baby it at all and it still looks in nearly perfect condition.

Orla Kiely SS17 Stem: Giant Linear Stem Print in Marine

The Giant Linear Stem print is available in the colorway Marine this season, a lovely deep blue with orange accents (see past season colors Dandelion, Apple, CamelSky Blue, Stone, Liquorice, Nutmeg, Twilight Blue, Vermillion, Kelp, and Navy).

$170
I quite love these Large Holdalls that are available this season. This and the Satchels are my favorites from the Stem collection. Initially, I thought these might be replacing the Zip Shopper this season, but it looks like that style will be available in the Love Birds print.
