Material & Craftsmanship

Iris is made from cotton cord and shaped by hand using time-intensive artisanal techniques. The spiralling cord texture gives each bag its tactile finish, while the rounded base creates its distinctive architectural form.

Care Guide

Treat your Iris bag gently. Spot clean with a soft cloth, cool water and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid soaking, machine washing, harsh chemicals and direct heat. Reshape carefully while damp and allow it to dry naturally in the shade. Store in a cool, dry place and avoid prolonged contact with perfumes, oils or strongly coloured fabrics.
