About us

Mieseta is a women-led design brand founded in Istanbul by Handan Yalnız.

The journey began with a discovery of ikat textiles and the traditional weaving culture behind them. This search led to Uzbekistan, where centuries-old techniques of hand-dyeing silk threads and weaving on manual looms are still preserved byskilled artisans.

In ikat weaving, patterns are not printed or added later. They are created before the fabric even exists — by carefully dyeing each thread by hand and then weaving them together. This process makes every textile slightly different, carrying the trace of human touch.

Mieseta transforms these handwoven silk ikat fabrics into bags, caftans, slippers, and home objects designed in Istanbul and produced in small workshops with a focus on craftsmanship and limited production.

Each piece is handmade, and no two are ever exactly the same.

Because at Mieseta, imperfection is not a flaw — it is proof of authenticity.

The brand exists at the intersection of Istanbul’s contemporary design perspective and Uzbekistan’s centuries-old textile heritage, bringing traditional craft into modern life in a quiet and honest way.
