Orla Kiely Bag

So I really wanted this bag..
but it appears to either be sold out or sold for ridiculous markups on ebay

The only version I am able to find is the fall version...which :\ I dunno...
orla%20kiely%20multistem%20fall%20220x300.jpg

What do you all think???
I'm sort of on the fence..initially I did not like it AT ALL...but it might be wearing on me.

I'm pretty sure I just seen that bag at either the Anthro in Kansas City or the one in Columbus, Oh (yes, I've been to both within the last month wink.gif)

The fall version is cute but I like the first one better.

I much prefer the lighter one. Would you consider the same print in a different style? I have a sling that I love, but it looks like that one is sold out, too. Revolve has the beach bag for pre-order. The shape is similar to the one you posted.

FP- Yup the fall color one is sold in Anthro as well :)

Tri- Thanks! So do you think this one would be a lot bigger than the shoulder bag? I like big bags, but only up to a certain point :)...

I'm not sure.  Do you know the dimensions of the shoulder bag?  The beach bag is 19" wide.  That's pretty big.  I don't have a lot to do today (don't tell my boss!) so I'll look around and see if I can find something smaller.

Edit:  Here are the dimensions of both. 
Shoulder bag is 16.5 "W x 8.5"H x 3.5"D. 
The Beach Bag is 19 "W x 12.5"H x 4.5"D. 

So the beach bag is big, but it's not *that* much bigger than the shoulder. 

*I found a shoulder at a Brittish store called Swaggers.  I couldn't find information about international shipping on their site.  http://www.swaggers.co.uk/requestinfo.asp?productid=1332

I tried on the beach bag at Anthro this weekend and it was huge. I've tried the shoulder bag before and i think it's a much more reasonable size--even though there's not a huge difference in measurement. . .
I like the fall colors though!

The dark one is kind of growing on me, too. I think I like it more every time I see it. But I still do like the light one more.

Thanks girl! :) hmm that isn't that much different and I'm no where near petite (5'8 size 10) so my physique can handle big bags.
I'll take a look at swaggers...maybe they do ship int'l..

No, not the fall one, I seen the lighter one. Not sure if its the same style but it certainly wasn't huge. May be worth a call or two.

Yeah, that light one is hard to find.  Nordstrom in Charlotte had it in a few different sizes and shapes, but I think they're all gone.  I wonder if any Nords has them.  It's weird, I haven't seen anyone carrying one since early spring.  I thought I'd see them all over this summer.

Ayo I have the light one, in the larger beach size.  I'm a bit shorter than you but about the same size.  I posted IRL pics in a threadstyle previously if you want to check it out.

IPT- actually your post inspired me to get the bag! But I actually thought it was the shoulder bag you have not the beach size. So that's perfect I'll go ahead and get that one.

Fp- Ah! ok thanks, maybe I'll try calling they have it for a bit less than revolve :)

Thanks everyone for your help!

Hope I'm not too lte but, if you call your order in to revolve and tell them your a first time customer they will give you a 20% discount.  Just tell them a friend told you about the discount...

Don't know if you already bought this but they had 2 of the light color in the Anthro on Boylston St in Boston, I wasn't sure which size they had but they didn't look huge.

This sounds like it is off-topic, but it is not.

Remember this old kind of stroller? 

Wouldn't it be so cute if you could get one in the Orla Kiely print?  That would very cool!

Are people even allowed to use these for kids anymore?  It seems like the equivalent of driving around in a Ford Festiva or something.  Anyway...

This is the one that I have and I really like it.  It's the perfect medium size.

I was there today!
