Our Story

Welcome to the Dear Perli fam!

I’m Michelle, and I truly can’t begin to tell you how much it means to me that you’re here. I’m from Miami, Florida, and that’s where Dear Perli began as a passion project during Covid. Fast forward five years, countless designs, and so many new faces cozied up in our pieces later… here we are. 

As an artist, I’ve always loved using creativity to make gifts feel more personal. A friend of mine was expecting her first child, and I had the idea to illustrate a special pattern and print it on a blanket. One thing led to another, and what I initially thought was just another custom gift, became the start of something more.

For years, I dreamed of building a business rooted in something I truly love. There’s nothing that makes me happier than designing products that help welcome loved ones into the world — and make childhood memories feel even more special, cozy, and meaningful.

What We Believe In

At Dear Perli, we believe that every moment is worth celebrating, from the smallest everyday occurrences to life’s biggest milestones.

Today, we offer blankets, towels, accessories, plush toys, footies, and pajamas — not just for babies, but for kids and even adults, too. Every piece is made from our signature bamboo fabric, which is incredibly soft, breathable, and eco-friendly.

Our playful prints have captured the hearts of so many families, and we’re so grateful to have grown alongside you.

The Story Behind The Name /  Note From Founder
The name "Dear Perli" holds a special place in my heart. Perli is not just a name, but a representation of an extraordinary person and friend. Perli is my mom.  
Dear Perli began as my baby, but it quickly became ours. My mom has been a constant source of support and encouragement throughout this journey. She’s always there to share her excitement, provide invaluable insights, and lend a helping hand. From attending markets and trade shows across the country to packing orders with the biggest smile on her face, she’s been an integral part of our company’s growth and success. She embodies the values that we hold dear — happiness, honesty, inclusivity, family orientation, love, kindness, creativity, and fun. 
I owe it all to her — the courage to be an entrepreneur, the creativity that she instilled in me, and the drive to chase my dreams relentlessly. I can only hope that our customers — parents, their little ones, friends and family alike — can enjoy the same unconditional love that she’s given me. 
With love,
Mich
