OUR STORY

Ateljé. It’s Swedish for Atelier and sounds like Atel-YAY!

Which is preeetty accurate because these cases will brighten up your day. Or at least your outfit. Ateljé is all about making your life a little easier - and prettier while you're at it! Have your hands free and your tech protected with our sleeves and cases. (What's that saying again? Keep your friends close and your phone closer?)

Ateljé turned 5 in September 2025, this is what founder Yara Michels said about it:

"Celebrating 5 years of Ateljé!! 🦪✨So five years ago, I hand-crafted my very first pearl phone cord. Without a big business plan; or any plan at all really. There was just nothing like it on the market, and it was an experiment. I had no idea it would spark the beginning of something so special, I just knew that it made ME excited to dress up my phone, because I enjoy it when the little things around me make me happy. What started with late nights, packing orders with Jordy and obsessing over the tiniest details has grown into a brand that’s worn and loved by so many of you. That truly feels unreal when I write it down right now. We’ve built the most fun team, the most amazing community, have made huge sustainable steps, get to ship thousands of orders all over the world every month, and are worn by some of the biggest names in the word. (We’ve just had a styling request from a global fashion icon that I just can’t even believe). With collaborations and magazine features I once only dreamed of, and with prestigious stores like Liberty, Harrods, De Bijenkorf selling Ateljé.

Those are some of the big wins, but these five years have been everything all at once. It’s long hours, big financial risks, tears of frustration, happy dances, pride, and above all, moments of pure joy seeing our pieces out there in the world. Balancing it with two kids has been a challenge in it’s own (and something I’m super proud of too, to be an entrepreneur mom!), but Ateljé truly feels like my first baby. 💌

Ateljé is now bigger than I dared to imagine at the start - I somehow always underestimated myself - but the heart of it is still the same. Creating beautiful, meaningful things that make everyday life a little brighter.

Thank you, from the bottom of our heart, to our community for being here, for every order, every tag, every dm, every bit of love. None of this would have been possible without you. And the best part? This is only the beginning. 🌸✨ Here’s to the next five years."

She has worked as a tv-host and editor in chief of one of Holland’s biggest millennial women's magazines: Linda.meiden. Yara: “Most women I know are total multi taskers. I’m so proud to see them thriving! So we’re always looking for easy solutions to make life slightly more efficient – because it’s hectic enough as is. I’m obsessed with phone cords because they make my busy life 1000% easier. But I could only find basic, pretty bland cords and wanted something fun that expressed personal style. I just made a few for myself and got the ‘where did you get that?’ question weekly. So here it is. My creative, crafty project: Ateljé!"
