MELIKE is an independent design practice founded by Esra Melike Çil, an architect and fashion designer based in Istanbul.

Moving between clothing, objects and spaces, the practice explores the relationship between material, form and the body.

Rooted in craftsmanship and an appreciation for textiles, MELIKE brings together traditional techniques and contemporary expressions. Each creation is developed with an individual approach, often shaped by the character and history of its materials.

The practice embraces singular pieces, limited editions and bespoke creations, allowing each work to exist beyond seasons and conventions.
