Here it is! This is the bag I bought from orla kiely's flagship shop when I was in London. Oh, it was almost impossible to choose. I made at least a dozen passes around the shop trying this bag and that on my shoulder. It was such a pathetic display of indecisiveness that the people I was shopping with kindly offered to let me come back again the next day so that I could think about it (i.e. calm myself) overnight. Although, I highly suspected that my circling was making them dizzy and they were in desperate need of fresh air. Whatever the reason, it was just the push I needed to make up my orla-overloaded mind.
I also bought a meter of her signature pear oil cloth. The shop assistant was ever so helpful, but I got the distinct impression that most shoppers don't buy the cloth. I'm pretty sure she confirmed that I wanted it three times. (Fortunately for me there were only two fabrics to choose from -- I felt so decisive -- sadly that was prior to the purse dilemma so the sense of victory was fleeting.)
