The Mama Made
The Mama Made is a Greek family brand, born in Athens from the alliance between Irini (“the Mama”) and her son Michail. Together, they transform traditional crochet into modern, elegant and responsible creations, handmade from cotton, wool or recycled materials.
A family history of tradition and creation
The Mama Made was born in Athens from a beautiful family collaboration between Irini, the “Mama”, a crochet enthusiast, and her son Michail, an interior designer. Together, they decided to revive traditional crochet skills, blending them with a contemporary aesthetic. As a result, each piece bears their dual signature: authenticity of gesture and elegance of design.
Irini is inspired by the Cretan motifs she has been weaving for years, while Michail adds a modern, minimalist touch. Thanks to this complementarity, they have imagined a unique collection of bags, decorative objects and textile accessories, all handmade from natural materials.
The Mama Made collection: soft, responsible and designer
The Mama Made offers a range of woven items that blend harmoniously into a well-cared-for interior, while telling a story. Each piece is produced in small batches, to preserve the artisanal aspect and limit environmental impact.

Frequently asked questions about crochet accessories
What are the advantages of handmade accessories?
Handcrafted accessories offer unique quality, as each piece is made with care. What’s more, they support local work, respect the environment, and tell a story through their manufacture.
Why choose products made from cotton or natural wool?
Natural materials are soft, breathable and durable. By opting for organic cotton or wool, you’re choosing comfort while limiting your ecological impact.
How do I care for a crochet accessory?
To prolong its life, we recommend washing it by hand with lukewarm water and mild soap. Then dry flat, away from direct sunlight. In this way, the fibers retain their suppleness.

Yes, especially if it’s lined and reinforced, like those from The Mama Made. Thanks to artisanal techniques and the quality of the materials used, these bags are both aesthetically pleasing and robust.
