At IRIS MAREE, “cruelty-free” means no animals are harmed in the making of our designs. We do not use leather or animal-derived materials. Instead, we craft each piece from Kayla Fabric®, our in-house innovation designed to embody the character and quality of leather while remaining entirely animal-free.

Kayla Fabric® is our proprietary material developed in-house. It is a high-end, cruelty-free alternative to leather - durable, soft, and elevated in finish. Made from ultra-thin recycled polyesterthreads, woven in a three-layer structure, and finished with innovative coatings, Kayla Fabric® is PVC-free, water- and stain-resistant, and produced with zero waste. It doesn’t just replace leather—it redefines what’s possible when fashion cares for the earth.

Each handbag has its own dedicated product page with details on dimensions, weight, fabric, hardware, and care instructions. For styling inspiration, you’ll also find editorial imagery on our website and our Instagram.

Kayla Fabric® is designed for longevity. Simply wipe it clean with a soft damp cloth. Store your bag in its protective dust bag to preserve its beauty over time.

Yes. Beyond being cruelty-free, our bags are designed in Amsterdam and crafted in European family-owned ateliers in limited quantities. This ensures ethical production, traceability, and a mindful approach to fashion.

IRIS MAREE is a luxury handbag brand founded by Iris Maree in Amsterdam. Rooted in her personal identity journey, the brand explores individuality and authenticity while redefining what luxury can be — cruelty-free, beautiful, and timeless.

We stand for cruelty-free without compromise. Every handbag is a reflection of self-expression, responsibility, and refined taste. Our vision is to offer high-quality, beautiful leather alternative designs that match leather in all aspects of the material without harming animals in the process. We’re on a mission to change an entire industry that’s been built on practices that need to end.

All IRIS MAREE bags are crafted in European family-owned ateliers in Italy and Portugal, ensuring the highest standards of craftsmanship and ethical production.

The brand is named after its founder, Iris Maree, who envisioned a project for which she could take full creative responsibility. It started with a personal journey and a shared invitation to embrace authenticity. Discover her full story on the About page.

At IRIS MAREE, we strive to create long-lasting designs. If a problem arises, our two-year warranty on bags has you covered. Our expert craftsmen repair all products to guarantee lasting quality. To have your product repaired, please contact our customer service department at info@irismaree.com and include a copy of your receipt. While not all repairs are possible, we will do our best to accommodate your request. 

This warranty only applies if the product's usability is negatively affected by a material or manufacturing defect. It does not apply if the usability is limited by improper or incorrect use, or by external causes such as the use of incorrect cleaning agents, impregnation, or textile dye after purchase. These cases are not covered by the warranty.

IRIS MAREE doesn’t follow traditional fashion seasons or trends. Instead, we carry an ongoing collection suitable for all seasons and occasions that never goes on sale. Durability and resilience are important to us, and we want you to enjoy your bag for years to come.

To ensure our last pieces don't remain in the dark, we organize an archive event twice per year where you can find our designs at reduced prices. Join our newsletter and follow us on Instagram to be the first to know when and where our archive event will take place.
