Zalando : Review (…and Orla Kiely)

Oh be still my beating heart….do you see it? Do you? I know, its an Orly Keily bag, and its gorgeous!

I was contacted by Zalando, to put their site through its paces and in return, I got to review one their products.  Now if you haven’t heard of Zalando its the UK’s (it originates from Europe though) largest online wardrobe! It has shoes, clothing and home items.  Now when I say it the biggest, it really does have a lot of stock, but the site is well signposted, and you really wouldn’t realise this when navigating the site.

I toyed with the idea of buying this :

 

At £85, I knew just the wall that it would look great on. I could imagine it with half family photographs, and some vintage postcards I’ve been collecting too.  Then I saw this Rene Lezard Cocktail Dress :

…which I fell in love with, but at £250 I really was blowing my budget.  Don’t worry Tall Dad, I didn’t buy it….yet!

But then I realised that they sold Orla Kiely, bags, dresses, coats and purses. I have loved Orla Kiely for years, and I have some of her home-ware in my kitchen, the retro vibe of the designs really appeal to me.

So when I saw this Orla Kiely Poppy, cross over leather bag, in yellow: £155, I just had to have it!  I love this bag, it’s perfect for summer, and for my upcoming holiday. It’s the perfect size to add to an outfit for the evening, I wear allot of black, and navy, so I love that it will give a pop of colour too!

 

Once ordered, it arrived 3 days afterwards. I was notified, by email and by text.  It’s such a good idea to add your mobile number, if like me you tend to be out and about in the day.  It was really well packaged, and came in a cloth Orla Kiely bag.  Made from gorgeous leather, I absolutely adore it!

Thank you Zalando, I am now your No1 fan!
