About Maria Elena

Maria creates colorful, handmade textile pieces that bring warmth and joy to everyday life.

Working primarily with natural wool and recycled fabrics, she crafts unique hats, hairbands, and her signature tricot-in decorations – flexible wire-core textile ropes that can be shaped into personalized names and ornaments.

Each piece is designed to make life more beautiful, cozy, and practical, especially during the dark winter months.

Love Notes

Words from wonderful customers

Katarzyna

Maria’s Tricot-in name decoration hangs in my son’s room and he loves pointing at it every morning. The wire inside means I can adjust it whenever I want such a clever design.

Piotr

The knitted hat I ordered is incredibly warm but never itchy. The burgundy color is exactly what I needed to brighten up my daily commute through winter darkness.

Annemiek

I’ve collected three of Maria’s hairbands now and wear them constantly. They’re comfortable enough to forget you’re wearing them, but beautiful enough that people always notice.

Lotte

Maria’s hat has become my signature piece. The handmade quality is obvious, and I love knowing it’s made from natural wool. It feels good to wear something so thoughtfully crafted.

Daan

I ordered a Tricot-in with my daughter’s name for her birthday. She repositions it into different shapes sometimes a wave, sometimes a heart. Such a creative, lasting gift.
