The IRIS story began in Queen’s Park in 2004, when friends and local mums Annie Pollet and Sarah Claassen identified a business opportunity. Inspired by their own passion for fashion and driven by like-minded friends in the area who wanted to look stylish and shop locally – IRIS opened its doors – selling a mix of stylish, exclusive, easy to wear, fashion & accessories.
Annie had an extensive fashion background working for brands, such as Calvin Klein, Nicole Farhi and Earl Jeans and Sarah was the head of jewellery production & sales at leading Jeweller, David Morris. Together they combined their strengths and knowledge to deliver their distinct IRIS shopping experience.
