OUR STORY

100% Handcrafted with care: SOciety mano's artisan-made creations

A Note from Our Founder

Knitting Joy and Purpose into Every Design

Society Mano was born from my love for handmade fashion and my desire to create something that feels personal, playful, and impactful. Every sweater we make tells a story—knitted and crocheted with care, creativity, and a little bit of fun! From cozy mushrooms to cheerful strawberries and even quirky donuts, our designs are all about spreading joy and warmth.

Growing up in Turkey, I was always inspired by the beauty of creativity and innovation. Now living in the U.S., I’m proud to lead a team of incredible women artisans who handcraft each piece from their homes. Supporting women and embracing sustainability are at the heart of everything we do.

Thank you for being part of this journey. I hope our pieces bring you as much joy as they bring me!

With love,

Hilal Palacioglu Ulukaya

Founder & Creative Director, Society Mano

How We Do Our Business

Society Mano was founded with a simple yet powerful vision—to create meaningful, handmade fashion that uplifts and empowers. Our story has always been at the core of our business. Today, our clothes are hand-knitted and crafted by 351 incredibly talented women in the United States and Turkey. Society Mano is more than just a brand—it's a platform that celebrates the strength of community and the beauty of creating unique pieces through fair trade practices that you can wear proudly.

Every piece we offer is made entirely by hand, from start to finish, using high-quality, sustainable yarns. We sell each item directly to our customers, one piece at a time. Each garment is lovingly crafted in the homes of our local female artisans, who work with flexible schedules and without deadlines—ensuring comfort, creativity, and care in every stitch.

Since day one, our goal has never been to build the fastest or biggest business. Instead, we are committed to building a brand with genuine social impact—supporting underrepresented communities and delivering one-of-a-kind handcrafted pieces to our loyal customers. Many of you shop with us time and again, and we cherish getting to know you by name. Over time, many of our customers become part of our extended family. We hope you feel that sense of connection and warmth when you interact with our community and wear our handmade pieces.

That’s our story. But there’s so much more to discover. I invite you to meet our incredible female artisans and explore our sustainability initiatives.

If you have any questions, ideas, or feedback—or simply want to share something—please feel free to reach out to me anytime at hilal@societymano.com. I truly love hearing from our customers and community!

With love,
