About this deal

I knew our silhouette should be clean and simple to give the garment the graphic quality and colour of our print, space to be’ She began designing handbags and hats after her father noted during her first London Fashion Week that everyone was carrying a handbag, but no one was wearing a hat. [5] In the late 1990s, she had the idea to laminate cloth for handbags: "At the time, no one was doing anything like it. Laminated fabric, in those days, meant tablecloths." [3] What about pattern itself – where does one begin to mix and match? "Different scales are good, different coverage is good," she says, explaining that the idea of "clashing" is the point, rather than the thing to avoid. "They kind of need to contrast – you want to link the colours somehow, but if you put similar patterns together, ones with the same weight, for example, the risk is that it can look like a mistake."

Including giant dresses down to miniature dolls, her collection showcases over 150 patterns across all products from T-shirts to teapots. The exhibition charts the growth and success of Orla Kiely from her first collection of hats at London Fashion Week in 1994, through the advent of the iconic Orla Kiely bag in the mid-nineties to her freelance work for department stores executed from her kitchen table in 1998.Even so, people shouldn't be so scared of pattern in the home. "You just have to go for it. That really is the point. Just be brave."
