About us

Hi there, I’m Irene — founder and creative heart behind Irene’s Bags.

It all began with a simple realization: the bags I loved didn’t love me back. They were stylish, yes — but they couldn’t handle the chaos of real life. As a designer, traveler, and woman constantly on the move, I wanted a bag that could do it all — one that felt as good as it looked, and worked as hard as I did.

So I started making my own.
What began as a personal project in my small home studio quickly turned into a passion — and then a business. Each bag I design is created with one goal in mind: to blend timeless elegance with everyday functionality. From selecting durable, sustainable materials to hand-stitching every seam, we focus on details that make a difference.

At Irene’s Bags, we believe that a great bag isn’t just an accessory — it’s a companion. It should move with you, support you, and reflect your lifestyle. That’s why every tote, crossbody, or weekender we create is designed to be strong, elegant, and endlessly practical. Whether you’re heading to a morning meeting, catching a flight, or enjoying a quiet weekend away — your bag should make life easier, not harder.

Over the years, our small idea has grown into a global community of women who value both beauty and purpose. More than 100,000 women around the world now carry Irene’s Bags — and each story, each journey, reminds us why we started.

We’re still guided by the same hands-on approach and heartfelt mission:
to create bags that look beautiful, feel amazing, and truly work for real life.

Thank you for being part of our story.

With love,
Irene
