I thought I'd canvas (pun completely intended ) opinion on this bag. What do you think? Nice colour for this SS season?

Oooh very nice, love the contrasting handle too. The print is similar to an OK make-up bag that I have, lovely.

Are you going to get it?

I am the only person in the world to not 'get' orla keily.. also think it's getting a bit common - as in everybody seems to have soemthing Orla Keily where I am ('cept me lol)

its £120

there are far far FAR nicer bags for £120

Personally I think £120 for a bag which isn't leather is a little OTT, but my main objection is that it's mustard yellow colour.

I am about to post a link to a bag myself so you can have your revenge there

for example

It's funny Mascara - there is definitely an Orla Kiely demographic of 30/40-something middle-class mums and in some areas it's just everywhere. I can't help myself being a cliche though, I just love the patterns and colours. Having said that, it's expensive and my make-up bag is the only OK thing I own. I'm saving myself (and my cash) for the perfect OK bag. There is one I love a lot but a friend has it, this one so I've resisted that.

but muffle

that shiny plastic just looks cheap and nasty
like a freebie youd get with a magazine or a shopper you can buy in tesco

nailpolish that bag has the word impractical writtem all over it!

impractical but GORGEOUS

who wants practical? practical is boring

actually i cant see why it is impractical...please tell me

actually if you took the luggage tag off that bag would be gorgeous.

ivory is impractical, every single bash, scratch, scrap, dump on the floor would show. But then you may lead a much more glamrous and scratch free life than me

nailpolish - that's a joke, right??

I love the mustard yellow colour. Would love to wear it but can't so I thought, why not just 'tote' it.

Just found out the other day that 'tote' means 'carry' .

whats a joke? i made no joke

and no i dont have a glamorous life. far from it. i have an ivory leather bag and its gets scratched and bumped and sticky hands all over it but i just clean it. its not difficult

just cos my life is dull doesnt mean i have to have a dull bag

Noooo nailpolish you just have to get into the OK mindset and PVC "oilcloth" starts to look desirable It really isn't the same as a tatty freebie magazine bag (I should know.. have had millions of them)

btw your white butterfly bag is possible the foulest bag I have ever seen! so there

muffle - the bag you like is lovely too but more O/W than S/S don't you think?

nailpolish - I like the bits of mustard on the butterfly wings

Indeed dolly, if you were going to have an OK bag for each season yours is much more springlike. I like the sling bag shape though and long strap - need free hands for catching 3yo and holding ice creams.

So I'll have this for spring

waht about red

god help me if i ever have a PVC bag

if you like orla keily you might like lulu guinness

nice but less commmon

i like the dot embroiderly large urchin bag

too 'harsh' as DD says (when I drag her 'round the shops oggling bags)

That's a granny bag nailpolish!

It's just a matter of time y'know - I bet one day the scales will fall from your eyes and you will just have to have and orla kiely bag

i would consider a make up bag

Now I think Lulu G bags are pretty, but they don't have the practicality. They are bags for tottering into a posh lunch with, but not for everyday.

love this one

but it's even more expensive than the OK one!

they remind me of those old fashioned lamtinate fabric table clothes that people used to have

whith a chicken shapend pot egg basket proudly in the centre no doubt

Should I admit at this point to not having clicked on any of the links.. I just can't stand OK
