This Fall, designer Orla Kiely debuts in pet fashion with a capsule collection of dog jackets featuring her signature Stem print—and we’ve got the first scoop! In this DOGUE Exclusive, we take you inside Orla’s new collection and showcase the brand best known for its iconic Stem motif and fearless use of color.
Orla Kiely Designs
Orla Kiely is a globally recognised fashion and lifestyle brand, led by Orla, Dermott, and a small creative team. Since 1995, the brand has stood apart for its fearless embrace of bold color and graphic design in a world of neutrals and black. Drawing inspiration from mid-century treasures found in Portobello and Montreuil markets, Orla crafted a visual language that remains unmistakably her own.
Debuting in 2000, the Stem leaf print quickly grew into one of the most recognizable motifs of the 21st century. Much like a dog’s wardrobe that can be endlessly accessorized, the Stem evolves each season—scaled, reimagined, and recolored—while always keeping its charm. It’s timeless, adaptable, and forever fresh.
As Orla herself reflects:
“The creative world I find myself in now started with a simple idea: to design a collection of bags and accessories in a rainbow of prints— always joyful, always happy, with an emphasis on functionality. With little funds but endless enthusiasm, we began this journey. Color and pattern were our compass, and they remain at the heart of everything we do.”
Made to Last— for You, Your Pets & the Planet
From its very first bag in 1995, Orla Kiely has embraced kindness toward the environment. Today, that commitment continues with sustainable practices: reducing waste, and championing reusable and recycled materials across both products and packaging. Each piece is designed to be loved for a lifetime, marrying enduring style with responsibility to our planet.
At DOGUE, we believe style isn’t just for humans—it belongs to our four-legged family members too. Now, with Orla’s joyful patterns reimagined for pets, our pups can step into the season as boldly and stylishly as we do! Orla’s designs embody the same spirited individuality we see in our dogs—distinctive, stylish, and full of personality. Learn more at orlakiely.com
