    A love letter to the slow holiday

    Over the past year, these moments, places, colors, and small details have quietly shaped our collections. Some scenes we return to often. The places we imagine our pieces being worn, lived in and loved.

    Worn by you

    Real women. Real moments.

    Our Story

    Made by a Mother and Her Daughter

    We're Melina and Meilia, and we started Me + Lia because we were tired of clothes that look new for a season and feel forgotten by the next. So we began making the opposite — a small line of dresses and lounge sets in natural fabrics, designed slowly and meant to be worn for years. Every piece is one we'd reach for ourselves — and yes, the name is ours too: Melina and Meilia.
    A mother and daughter making clothes worth keeping — natural fabrics, made slowly, worn for years, not a season. We're Melina and Meilia: Me + Lia.
