Tania Mitakidis, wife and mother of three, began her journey in the textiles and fashion industry over fourteen years ago.
During this time, Tania gained immeasurable experience as a store owner, bridal designer and now, as the founder and director of luxury textile company, Lace and Embroidery. Tania’s love and knowledge of the textile industry, meshed with motherhood led to the beginnings of a long-held dream, Selene Atelier.

Having christened her own children, Tania holds dear the overwhelming joy of witnessing your infant enter God’s family. To mark this blessed occasion, Tania aspires to create memorable heirlooms that delve beyond the day's celebration and travel through generations to come.
