About Us

We are Yasemin & Greg Filer and we are the owner of YASE handmade. Yasemin have been sewing baby clothes and accessories for adults for about 12 years and all the skills she has learned are self taught.

We (Greg is Canadian) moved from Germany to Ontario in November 2021 to begin a new adventure and chapter in our lives. Once we had relocated, we decided to invest 100% of our time and efforts into building our small business. Our business was started in our small apartment in Germany and at the time of our move, was in operation for 3 years. During that period, our time was split between our full time jobs and running YASE handmade.

2022 was our first year and opportunity to be a part of the artisan/farmers markets in Ontario. It has been a wonderful experience to have so many markets around, to be able to interact with the local communities and see the smiles on visitors faces as they looked through all the products I had available.

We place a very high value on the quality of fabrics and materials that we use to create our products. For the baby clothes they are predominantly organic cotton and/or fabrics which carry the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certificate. The selection of colouring and patterns of the fabrics is a critical step in our process of creation. This is an aspect that Yasemin enjoys and take pride in sourcing unique patterns and colours that compliment the products I create. All fabrics are sourced from Canadian small businesses.

As you can see the baby clothes trend along the lines of being of a more neutral selection that correspond to a European/modern style. We are always looking for new products to create and am constantly updating my market stock from week to week.

In addition Greg is doing beautiful leather work. He creates his own designs, hand cuts and hand stitches leather products and accessories. 

Together we are YASE handmade.
You will find us always together. We are doing the setup and sales together and taking care of our son during the markets.

Thank you for supporting a small business!
