About Petit Mielle

A Love Letter to Slow Fashion & Sisterhood

Welcome to Petit Mielle, where every stitch tells a story of community, quality, and a commitment to a greener planet. Based in the beautiful coastal city of Izmir, Turkey, we are more than just a knitwear brand, we are a collective of women dedicated to the art of the "slow."

Our Story: From Izmir with Love

Founded by Hande Bozkurt Gultekin and Hatidzhe Eren Dayabash, Petit Mielle was born from a simple realization: our babies, our pets, and we ourselves deserve better than the "itchy," plastic-heavy world of fast fashion.

We believe that 100% polyester has no place in a child’s wardrobe or a pet’s bed. Instead, we choose the warmth of tradition and the luxury of nature.

A Community of Creators

We don’t just "produce" garments; we nurture a community. Petit Mielle works hand-in-hand with talented women in our neighborhood, mothers and grandmothers who carry decades of knitting wisdom.

  • Empowerment: We provide the materials and the platform; they provide the magic.
  • Education: Together, we learn new techniques, ensuring that traditional craftsmanship evolves for the modern world.
  • Support: Every purchase directly supports these local artisans, fostering a "women supporting women" ecosystem right here in Izmir.

Quality You Can Feel (and Trace)

Sustainability isn't a buzzword for us; it’s our standard.

  • Certified Wool: We hand-select only the finest, earth-friendly, and certified sustainable wool.
  • No To Fast Fashion: In a world of disposable trends, we choose durability. Our sweaters, vests, and accessories are made to last for years, not weeks.
  • Circular Beauty: Because our yarn is of the highest quality, we encourage you to re-use it. When a sweater is finally outgrown or worn through, unravel it, repurpose the wool, and keep the cycle of creation going.

Our Promise to You

Whether it’s a tiny sweater for a newborn, a cozy vest for you, or a matching knit for your "fur-baby," you are receiving a piece of our hearts. No trash, no toxins, just 100% handmade love.

Together, let’s make the world a bit softer, one hand-knit stitch at a time.

Welcome to Petit Mielle.
