WHEN Storksak made contact to say this blog had been recommended to them and asked if I’d like to review one of their nappy bags, I jumped at the chance. This is the brand that’s often spotted hanging off the shoulder of a bevy of A-list celebrities.
This Emily bag (RRP: $229)

is a favourite of Angelina Jolie.
And this Dori (RRP: $199)

is used by Jessica Alba.
I was particularly taken with the Elizabeth Quilted (RRP: $599)
And the Olivia (RRP: $299)
So you can imagine how thrilled I was when I received the latter to review. Without hesitation, I found a reason to go shopping. And this from a woman who’s not good at shopping.
Imaging I was Angelina walking down Rodeo Drive, as opposed to me plodding along Devonport’s Rooke St Mall, my first impression was how small (H 31cm, W 43cm, D 13cm) and incredibly lightweight it was. Nappy bag size is such an issue – trying to find something that’s big enough to fit all that’s needed into it but not so big you feel like you’re lugging a suitcase around with you. It’s especially a concern when you have a non-walking Li’l Holly who’s as heavy as she is.
Yes, that’s Ella doing some modelling. The nylon satin with faux leather trim bag cleverly has five pockets around the outside, five inside and two hidden front gold zipper pockets, which add to the gorgeous detail that each of Storksak’s bags feature.
Other features include:
- Detachable inner zipper sak (ideal for makeup, moneyvor, in my case, the mobile phone. There is no dedicated mobile phone pocket).
- Thermo-insulated bottle holder (keeps liquids warm/cool for up to four hours.)
- Padded change mat.
The shoulder straps are well padded and it also includes a long webbed shoulder strap, which is ideal for us with the stroller.
If you’re looking for a nappy bag that’s stylish and will serve you long after you need an actual nappy bag, then the Olivia is perfect. In fact, I think you’ll be hard pressed to find a bag on the site that doesn’t work as a fashionable accessory for work, shopping or going out. All the designs are devine. You’ll note on the website too, Storksak is introducing a limited time Christmas gift of a free Storksak Jools bag (RRP: $179) with any full-priced purchase over $250.
And guess what? You have the chance to win the Olivia too! To go in the draw, tell us your favourite accessory this summer. Is it a bag, jewellery or maybe a hat? The giveaway closes Saturday, December 17 at 7pm and winners will be drawn randomly and announced on this blog and via Facebook and Twitter. Australian residents only. Limit of four entries.

My favourite accessory this summer is my hot pink Longchamps tote bag!
**Drool* This bag is so gorgeous – my favourite accessory these days is a small gold locket, lovingly covered in teeth marks from my baby

My new summer item is a hug a bub wrap carrier. Yes, it may be hot, but I can go up to my waist into the pool with baby secure on my chest, have her calmed and close to me and breastfeed discreetly while out and about.

I so agree – nappy bags are usually too heavy, too big or dont have enough pockets to hold everything!
I used to buy a normal leather handbag and use that as a nappy bag…but gee I so love the look of olivia nappy bag by Storksak!
My all time favorite for this summer is my gorgeous pink summer hat 🙂
Cheers
Lisa
This bag looks very cool! This would make me feel very spoiled!!
My favourite accessory is a necklace my father in law just gave me with my kids’ names on them! Makes me smile! 🙂

Definately cant live without my sunnies in the summer.
If you want the honest truth – my sunglasses. I can’t get through summer without my sunglasses.
My summer essential is a hat because I burn to a crisp but really my absolutely essential is sunglasses, nice sunglasses, I might get myself a new pair this Summer! Always good to have a couple of pairs!

My favourite accessory this Summer is my Alex Perry Aviator Sunglasses.
A wooden ornate fan. I am 8 months pregnant and feeling the heat; so that totally justifies looking like a dork in public!
I’ve shared this on facebook.
I’ve tweeted about this giveaway.
I have a 1 year old who doesn’t really ‘get’ the concept of a pram, and only sleeps when on me.. So this summer every outfit I wear will be accessorised with an Ergo carrier and a small child!
Sunglasses a must, together with a little more beauty sleep, makes up for those extra holiday indulgences.

This Summer I have invested in a nice straw hat (a bit like the Fedora style). It is one way of covering my mass of messy curls that misbehaves in the hot weather and the fact that I am over due to get my hair highlights re-done! I must say that it does look pretty cute teamed with maxi dresses and shorts too 🙂

My favourite accessory this Summer is my daughter who follows me everywhere. She is cute, pink and matches my handbag well. I am sure one of these beautiful Bags will compliment both of us.
My favourite accessory is my sunglasses. If they’re not protecting my eyes from the sun, they’re sitting on top of my head.
My summer accessory is always with me all throught out the year although you will never see it, its my SPF 30+. can never leave it behind!! but the Storksak Olivia Nappy Bag would be the ultimate accessory!!!
