Orla Kiely OBE founded her business in 1995 to realise her dream of bringing modern mid-century inspired pattern, a hint of 1960’s cool and the comforting nostalgia for the time into everyday 21st century life. Based on Kiely’s three deep rooted passions of colour, pattern and good design, her simple philosophy has been to combine fun, bold and graphic style to bring joy and a smile to many.
Strong, minimalised patterns became the signature and it was through a small range of practical and eye-catching bags designed with functionality in mind that style was established. Since then, the collections have grown, full of print and colour, always playful in approach and often with a sense of humour integral to Orla’s style. Everyday elements such as flowers, plant life, animals, cutlery and crockery are refined into simple motifs before being constructed into the very orderly and rhythmic repeats that allows the charm and personality to shine.
