About

Manuahi – for the dreamers and explorers.

Manuahi was born between the snow-covered mountains of Austria and the colorful streets of Istanbul.
I’m Mira – founder of Manuahi, nature lover, traveler, and design enthusiast.

During a semester abroad, I lived in Kadıköy – a creative and vibrant neighborhood in Istanbul. Just around the corner was Meriç’s atelier – a small space filled with creativity, beauty, and soul. We spent countless hours over tea, talking about life, dreams, and the beauty of handmade things.

And then it became clear:

The world has to see this. The designs were too beutiful to not be shared beyond Istanbul.

 

So we created Manuahi – a jewelry brand for those who follow their own path and see magic in the everyday. Every piece is handcrafted in Meriç’s atelier, with the same love and attention that inspired me from the very beginning.

What Manuahi means

We searched for the right name – until one day, Meriç told me the legend of Manu: A boy who journeys with a mythical fish through the ocean, guided by curiosity and courage.

From this story came our name: Manuahi.

On Hawaiian, “Manuahi” also means free – and that’s exactly what we want our designs to express.

Our logo shows a fish with a horn – a symbol from the story of Manu. It stands for freedom, movement, and the magic of following your intuition.

Wherever your path takes you – we hope Manuahi travels with you.
