“Get to know Yema Home a little better! Here is the history of how we got to where we are today.”
"Yema" is an endearing term for the word “buttons”. Buttons hold things together, and that was the plan from the beginning for two sisters, Elena and Male' Morphy. With Male' living in Panama and Elena in Mexico, the sisters created "Yema" in order to help their mother care for their terminally ill father. He has always been their greatest inspiration. The two sisters decided to start their own business where they initially sold pillows from textiles that Elena designed herself while utilizing her background in textile design. Elena's design aesthetic is unique because she can make something so simple seem extremely elegant and functional at the same time.
Yema quickly evolved along with the sister's personal lives. When Male' and her husband started having children, logically, Yema's collections shifted to incorporate baby items, fabric toys, as well as beautifully handmade clothing for children of all ages. These exciting new product lines resulted in a change of the company name to "Yema Home". Yema Home still signifies the button, but this time they are not only holding people together, but the entire home as well. Male's three children play an essential and imaginative role in helping to test and model products for future collections and their smiling faces are captured all over the company website.
At Yema Home they insist on clean, simple and flexible designs that are fun to play with, easy to put on, and comfortable to wear. Their collection is beautiful, functional and worn for all occasions. Their prints are always colorful while remaining fresh and discrete.
Baby essentials, Girls + Boys products, fabric toys,
kids playroom toys and more.
They believe children thrive with simpler toys rather than plastic.
Throughout the years, Elena and Male' have made sure that all of their pieces are handcrafted by women in Latin America, Mexico and Argentina. They are able to empower women while giving them financial independence at the same time. Yema Home believes in the power of women helping women, it's as simple as that. All the women of Yema Home put their creative hearts and souls into the business. Each individual item is given thoughtful consideration from concept, design, fabric selection, and finally to construction.
Yema Home is constantly evolving, embracing change and growth,
and looking forward to what the future may hold.
Yema Home, where beautiful design meets a simplistic function for you,
for your family, and for your home.
“It’s been a fun ride, full of creativity,
hope you love our pieces as much as we do”.
Elena and Male Alvarez Morphy
