ABOUT US
MEET THE FOUNDER
At the heart of our brand is Elif, an architect and real estate developer who turned her lifelong love for colors, fabrics, and fashion into a reality. Her journey with fashion began at the tender age of 3 when her mother introduced her to sewing and designing classes. It was here that Elif's fascination with fashion and dresses took root, as her mother's creations made her feel special and pretty. Though her path led her to architecture and real estate development, her affinity for aesthetics, materials, and interior design remained intertwined with her love for fashion.
After years in the real estate industry, Elif decided to follow her heart's calling. In late 2023, she founded CIÉLIE, a brand that resonates with her appreciation for beauty, elegance, and the connection between fashion and architecture.
