The happy planner bag is near identical to the Sonia Kashuk weekender bag from Target. The ONLY difference is that the weekender bag has a clear flap for brushes on the elastic pocket. Seriously. That is it. So if you want a different pattern but the same exact bag....head to Target. I use one for my makeup when traveling. :)

The happy planner will fit? I've been wanting the Mambi bag but have been hating the pattern haha, so I would definitely love an exact replica alternative 😀😀👏🏽

[@Jennifermwb]

Yep. Just tried it. It is the exact same bag. I suspect they are made by the same manufacturer.

Very thorough comparison of these bags! I have them both as well and really like them!

[@aqua46784]

Thank you so much for this comparison. I was on the fence about the HP bag, especially with having a Joann Fabrics coupon burning a hole in my pocket. LOL After viewing this video I decided to stick with my Orla Kiely weekender, especially since I had lucked out on finding one with a pattern I like with GREEN pulls which actually match the green dots on the fabric. You made many great points in this video.

im so excited you did this video. i have been trying to decide between these this week! thanks so much! perfect timing!!!

[@thesassypineapple8387]

Great, I'm so glad it helped! I wish I had this info back when I was deciding. Happy shopping!

Great review! I just purchased the Create 365 bag yesterday, then saw your video today. I agree with everything you said. I am using it to hold my Happy Planner, washi, pens, stickers and my personal Filo. It holds a lot. I dont love the color, so I am happy to hear there will be new designs this fall.

[@thesassypineapple8387]

Yay! Hope you enjoy it! Stephanie Fleming does a lot of Periscopes; that's how I get the inside scoop. :)

[@jilltunnicliffe4227]

Great review, you think of everything. Thanks for all your hard work and for sharing your gifts ❤️

[@thesassypineapple8387]

You're so welcome! I don't consider this a gift, just lots of fun and happiness, but I appreciate you saying so. :)

You're not the only one who views the label as being the front; I've seen about a dozen KZbin videos on the Happy Planner Storage Case and almost everyone opened it from the back.

[@victoriacoleman9906]

Think of the Mambi bag label like the label on a greeting card, those are always on the back.

[@lisaleone2296]

I use a cosmetic bag from Walgreens that has one zippered see-thru compartment on each side. One side for pens, one side for the journal.

[@kimberlyhoward7896]

Thanks for the comparison! The big Orla Kiely bag is hard to find around here, so if I had to choose it would definitely be the Happy Planner bag, because of the availability and coupon☺️.

[@rdenee]

Thanks for the in depth review. Always looking for the perfect planner bag.

[@thesassypineapple8387]

Right?! Can there be too many planner bags? haha

[@rochelleb973]

I love my happy planner bag. I have the matching tote, my planner cover is the same pattern, and I have the matching pencil case as well

[@michellealdrich]

Good point re: happenstance of fortune to locate Orla Keily on clearance at Target! Awwww I LOVE her zipper pulls :-)

[@pmiddlebrooks3378]

Great reviews! You definitely should be on MAMBI's Design Team for storage.

[@DesireeTV]

I have the Orla Kiely but not the HP bag. I don't care for the layout of the HP bag and it seems a bit cumbersome to use. Maybe it's just me... LOL Great comparison, thanks for sharing!!!

[@thesassypineapple8387]

It definitely holds more, but it never leaves my house so I'm ok that it's ginormous haha. I would (and have) taken my Orla Kiely with me. I like both, but for different reasons.

[@NikiReynolds_2swift]

Just turn the HP Storage Case around to the other side and that poudh won't be upside down, right? LOL. I put tip mine up both ways and leave them all zipped at the top. The first one the zippers worked wonderful but right about the zipper it ripped on me so I told them about it and they had me send them photos and they gave me my money back but the new one seems like it doesn't zip as easy, maybe because it's new and it was mailed smashed down.

[@lgrundy6139]

Did she have to take out the top and bottom hp disc to get it to fit? Why r they missing

[@jachinoy1565]

I totally agrer with u :)
