How much can you fit in an Orla Kiely bag?

Posted on

6 Comments

I have a love of bags (although my husband doesn't seem to have the same appreciation for the quantity of bags that I need in my life) but over the years as my collection has grown, it has become apparant that some designer bags never seem to be particularly practical for every day use. So when I got the opportunity to review the Orla Keily Midi Sling bag, I was determined to put it through its paces.

How practical is a Orla Kiely Midi Sling Bag 

The handy bit for mums:

The first thing that struck me was the fabric. It is nylon and I have to admit that initially I was unsure about it but unlike other fabrics, the nylon wipes clean which is a HUGE plus when you have small sticky fingered children around. I have found that the rain also just runs off it .... a big plus for me as I am usually carrying a small child and trying to juggle an umbrella so my bag is flung over my shoulder somewhere getting soaking wet.

Orla Kiely bag - wipe clean

The info bit:

  • Beautiful handbag to wear for all occasions
  • Nylon bag with magnetic closure
  • Webbing handles and leather trims with logo card holder
  • Inside includes small zip pocket, key chain and mobile pocket
  • H 27 cm x W 30 cm x D 9 cm
  • Handle Length 116 cm - this adjusts too which is handy.

Orla Kiely - room inside

The useful bit:

I mentioned at the top of this post that some designer bags aren't always practical but I shared this photo on Instagram the other day showing just how much room is inside the Orla Kiely bag as I could fit my purse, phone, baby wipes, hairbrush, hair grips, phone charger, perfume, notepaper and a random green balloon and there was still ALOT of room left. I could easily get a spare outfit for one of the children in there too, which is always handy with those aforementioned sticky fingered children!

Retailing at £119.99 it is not the cheapest bag you could find to use everyday but the quality of the stiching, zips and handles shout quality and it is currently on offer at Cloggs for £80.00*, so it is a great time to grab a gorgeous bag at a discounted rate...... or if you have been a really good girl, you could just put it on your list for Father Christmas!

 

*price correct at the 15th October 2015. I was gifted the Orla Kiely bag for the purpose of this post.
