Orla Kiely FW17 Stem: Frilly Stem Print

Combining two things I love - Stems and scallops - these tote bags are perfection! An added bonus is its pretty pink shade, which is one of my favorite colors.

Orla Kiely Tote Bags at The Poppy Shop

Orla Kiely has designed two exclusive Juco bags with 100% of the profits going towards the Royal British Legion. The bags are available at The Poppy Shop and retail for £9.99 each.






Orla Kiely FW17 Mainline: Flower Applique in Conker, Light Gold, and Multi

With each style, I usually have a favorite colorway in mind, but I actually quite like all the colors of the Flower Appliqué bags this season. The Multi version of the Small Rosemary Bag has a lot of fun details, but I'm also loving the Light Gold Mini Box Bag.

Past season Appliqué bags have featured a vinyl body with leather appliqué accents (see Square Flower, Skipping Girls, and Applique Face). This season, however, the entire bag is 100% leather, which I'm quite pleased with, especially given the higher price points. Plus, I think leather gives these bags a better quality and durability.

Orla Kiely for Books Are My Bag


Today is the day that Orla Kiely will be releasing her limited edition tote bag for Books Are My Bag! Click here to find a book store near you that will be carrying this bag (I SO wish these were available in the US!) If you can't find a shop near you, I do believe these will be available to order online from booksaremybag.com later this week, so be sure to check back there.

If you live in the US, you can pick up Orla Kiely's Pattern book, which has been re-released with a new cover to match the limited edition tote bags. This version is available in both hardcover and Kindle formats at Amazon.

Orla Kiely FW17 Mainline: Punched Tall Flower Stem Leather in Black, Plum, and Mustard

I love the Plum colorway of these Punched Tall Flower Stem Leather bags. The Jeanie and Jeanette styles have long been my favorites, but I'm not too crazy about the cotton straps. I wish they were leather, like they are on the Abby Bag, so that style is probably my favorite from this collection. I also love the two-tone colors of the Big Zip Wallet.
