Story behind Gera Bloga

My name is Dovilė Mikelėnienė. I create stylish, natural clothing and accessories for little ones with my mother and our small team under the name Gera Bloga. I live and work in Lithuania, where I’m also a mother to beautiful twin girls and wife to a loving and supportive husband. 

My story begins with the birth of my twins – they were so small and fragile when they were born that they were cold even in the middle of summer. At one point, the NICU nurse suggested I have someone knit natural, coarse wool vests for them to wear on their bare skin, so my mom came to the rescue with two tiny handmade vests. They were such a lifesaver! After my mom knit those little vests, I had a thought: nature knows best when it comes to protecting and caring for your babies. If handmade clothing could be natural and comfortable, while also modern and beautiful, it would be perfect for my babies — and for other babies around the world. That led my mom and I to create our collection of natural handmade clothing.
