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.

A love letter to the slow holiday

One place we come back to again and again. Late light on the water, a quiet morning, a piece worn so often it feels like yours. This is what a slow holiday looks like to us.
