About the brandMIES is a proudly South African brand crafting natural body products and candles that celebrate the joys of self-care and the beauty of local craftsmanship.
Founded by Marlese, affectionately known as Mies to her nearest and dearest, the journey began in 2004 with a brown sugar body scrub made live on television. Today, the brand offers luxurious, handmade products designed to nourish, exfoliate, and hydrate, using all-natural ingredients like extra virgin olive oil, essential oils, and flowers.
MIES is about more than beauty—it’s a business rooted in community. By employing talented women from the Western Cape, the brand empowers its team while contributing to sustainable livelihoods. Faith and Primrose, loyal team members for over nine years, handcraft every product, while Marlese’s husband, Herman, manages operations. Found in lifestyle stores, salons, and markets like Kamersvol Geskenke, MIES blends indulgence with sustainability.
With MIES, every product is an invitation to spoil your body, bless your skin, and support a proudly local, uplifting enterprise. Each creation reflects the care, passion, and purpose that reflects the brand’s inspiring origin story.
