When it comes to hair accessories for girls, we don’t look any further than Mia Mae. Surina is the talented and creative mama behind this cute, proudly South African kids accessory range. From delicately knitted bonnets and blankets to pretty headbands, hair clips and hair ties… Surina makes it all and you’re sure to love them as much as we do.
In 2017, after being retrenched, Surina became a mom for the 1st time. Like a lot of mompreneurs, the plan was to stay at home and be a full time mama to baby girl Li-mé. Surina loved her time with Li-mé, and although she cherished every moment, she also knew she needed something to keep her mind stimulated in a different way. Confronted with various emotions and struggling with the idea of a new 9-5, Surina couldn’t imagine leaving Li-mé – “I wanted her to be part of my journey.”
Being a typical girlmom, she was always on the look out for pretty, girly accessories for Li-mé and found it frustrating seeing all the “nicer things” only available overseas.
“So, one day the Lord gave me a bright idea. Maybe I should start my own thing.”
First research needed to be done… Surina started making a few products for Li-mé and focused on people’s reactions and comments when she was wearing them. The response was overwhelmingly positive and it was decided; let’s give this a go! She would start her own range of hair accessories for girls.
“Having your own business is fun but also super stressful. I’ve grown so much over the last year and love every moment of Mia Mae.”
Always drawing inspiration from Li-mé, Surina focuses on creating and hand making the prettiest bows in an array of beautiful fabrics. Working hard to ensure top quality and a comfortable fit too. Our little Ava has been wearing her Mia Mae headbands from birth, with no complaints or headaches and Eliana and Lia are never without a Mia Mae hair accessory.
Even I can’t resist a Mia Mae head wrap…
What started as a one woman show has grown into a trio of passionate mama makers working together in crafting adorable accessories for little girls to enjoy. We might not know what the future holds for Surina and her team but I can asure you, it’s going to be beautiful!
Today sees the launch of the Mia Mae online store at MiaMae.co.za. With 4 different styles and an endless amount of fabric options to choose from at affordable prices it’s definitely worth spoiling your little girl. Be sure to go and have a look at their other products too but I warn you, the swoon worthy pics of all the little Mia Mae fans are enough to get anyone broody.
Also be sure to follow Mia Mae on Instagram and to like their Facebook page.

Love the head wrap! What lovely accessories 🙂
Hello, my baby girl is now 7 weeks old! I had to wait 10 years for this little Missy. I have three gorgeous boys and now finally my princess. I am enjoying all the girly things and I just adore these headbands with the little bows! The head wraps are also great (for me 😜). Would love to win this hamper for my little Jocelyn! X
The Rose Cotton Bow is my favourite!
Aah how does one choose which bow is their favourite?! I love them all!! The Leatherette and Cotton Bow are probably my favourite though! I would LOVE to win! Pick me pretty please?!
So pretty. Love being a girl mom! ♡ The sweetheart bow is my favourite 🎀
Yay. A girl needs a pretty bow. Just to round it all off nicely. Ek love love elke liewe kopband maar die Leatherette bow is my gunsteling.
Week I love them all! But the head wrap is stunning. Would love to twin with my babe!
So pretty! I am in love with the sweetheart bows… the floral and lilac ones! My little girl will be turning one in April. I would love to style her in one of the bows. The head wrapping is also gorgeous. And looks very comfortable.
Mommy of 2 girls and we love to match as much as possible.

Omg . Finally some stunning hair accessories for my lil girls. They are all so gorgeous. I love a good story behind a business and this one is amazing .
From a mommy of two gorgeous girls I am in awe of the beautiful creations you designed. Just sad that my eldest daughter couldn’t have worn some earlier as I searched high and low to find beautiful headbands to no avail. I will definitely be ordering some for the both of them to look gorgeous when going out. Love your floral bows and blue rose cotton bow, but in all honesty every single bow is stunning. Keep up the great work
My little one has quite a mane to tame! Sweetheart bows with a clip are always a winner for us!
