Orla Kiely Icons: The Non-Negotiables

An Orla Kiely brand icon, our simple graphic leaf 'Stem' has been very kind to us. Often described as one of the most recognisable prints of the 21st century by experts and commentators in the world of textiles, Stem is a classic all year round.

Featuring a bold but surprisingly neutral colour way, our Classic Stem print has been incredibly popular since its release in 2000. An enduring motif that has survived the test of time, Classic Stem is as popular today as it was 24 years ago.

A versatile print, our Classic Stem collection features a core selection of handbags, backpacks and purses, designs that remain on trend throughout the year. A Stem for all seasons. Alongside the range of bags & accessories, our Classic Stem print is available on a handful of homeware products too, including Mugs, WallpapersRugs and much more! 

Introducing some of our Classic Stem favourites, our non negotiables.

The Carrysmall Basic in Classic Multi Stem

A classic medium-sized tote bag, made from our coated cotton canvas and super-lightweight. Choose between a wide opening or corners folded in and secured with a clip to keep your goods safe and secure. Use for the gym, the pool or for simply toting around town with short grab handles to carry by hand or on your arm. 

The Bestie Backpack in Classic Multi Stem

The Bestie, our staple backpack, is a perfect companion for anyone who travels regularly. Its sleek shape is surprisingly roomy with a zip pocket on the front for easy access to your essentials. It has multiple pockets to store your valuables safely and can fit A4 documents and laptops up to 15". The top handles allow you to carry it easily by your side.

The Ranger Crossbody in Classic Multi Stem

The Ranger is perfect for the woman on the go. Despite its small dimensions, there is more than enough room for all your essentials and the front zip pocket makes them easy to access.
