Martha spent long days at work, away from home. So she needed a bag big enough to hold a little more than a purse and lipstick, without going all Mary Poppins on her.

I saw the Iris bag from the start as a symbol of elegance. Le sac que l’on porte la tête haute, sans prise de tête. Celui qui apporte une touche chic à n’importe quelle de nos tenues. And why did you choose a satchel shape?

It was by imagining Ella Maillart carrying the bag dedicated to her that I designed the Ella. The key words: Travel, Adventure and Freedom. With this bag, I wanted to honour her greatest passion: sailing.
