Adela Mei

Adela Mei is an online boutique created by business partners Sasha Moyer and Stacy Leung to cater to petite women.

Based in San Francisco, the duo brings the often-forgotten petite customer to the forefront, curating the best offerings of the season for women who stand proudly at 5’4” or shorter, in or out of her heels. Named for Moyer and Leung’s petite grandmothers, Adela and Mei, the site strives to make shopping for the petite woman a little easier – and making alterations a thing of the past – by offering a tight edit of the season’s trends and showing more realistic images of the clothes by using petite models.
