Mia Mélange

A Stellenbosch-based brand of homeware and accessories made using 100% cotton rope

Why we love Mia Mélange

Bound to become your stylish everyday staple, we’ve chosen the net bag for its useful yet youthful appeal. We also appreciate that it’s handcrafted by the Mia Mélange team with cotton sourced from local farmers who are members of the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI). The cotton is then spun into yarn in local mills, before being braided into rope in Cape Town.

Owner Jeanneke Malan is committed to empowering and supporting her all-women team and finding more opportunities within the community. In addition to the five full-time employees, Jeanneke assists women who have heard about Mia Mélange through word of mouth and want to work in the evenings to make certain product elements, such as the tassels on the net bags, to supplement their income.
