orla kiely

about 8 years ago i saw a gorgeous bag on a girl in london. i was to shy to ask here where she got it, so instead i just got a bit closer and saw it said 'orla' (the rest i couldn't make out) on the little label. when i got back home i did some research and found out it was a bag by the irish designer orla kiely. ever since her name has been popping up left, right and centre and she's been added to my list of design heroes. she's most famous for her stem print bags, but she does fashion, homewares, luggage and much more. tinsmiths sell a couple of orla's oilcloth fabrics, but stock is very limited.
