Eli & Nev

After nearly three years of caring for a newborn, then baby, and then toddler, while embracing the daily love and struggles that go with it, I decided to tackle what I struggled to find: everyday clothing that was comfortable but also stylish, for kids who can’t stay in one place and parents who are on the move.

For a few years, I taught myself to sew and became addicted to the endless possibilities and freedom of being able to create whatever piece imaginable. I started designing and sewing clothes for my son and myself, and quickly got requests from friends for the same outfits. What started in the corner of a room under a roof became Eli & Nev, a brand we’re proud to share with our customers around the world today.

As parents who originated from France and Turkey, who lived in New York, Rotterdam, Istanbul and Luxembourg, and who are lucky to have travelled to all continents (and still do, with a +1 now!), we know the importance of having practical and comfortable clothes, and the desire not to compromise on style. We want our kids to explore, discover, get dirty, be amazed by the world around them, and we want to create garments that allows them to do that in total freedom.
