About Atèlette

"Ate Lette." In Cebuano, Ate (AH-tee) means older sister. Lette was my childhood nickname in the Philippines.
Ate Lette
My name is Rodellee Bas, "Ate Lette". I am a collector, maker, and more importantly a lifelong student of beauty, craft, and the natural world.
The way I see and make has been shaped by the places I have called home: from the Philippines, where I was born between the Pacific Ocean and rolling farmlands, to the Hudson Valley, the wide open skies of Texas, the dimly lit streets of Budapest, the bustle of Los Angeles, and now the vast varied landscapes of Oregon, which I find the most inspiration in.
Atèlette is where the influences of the different chapters of my life and the places I have lived come together. It is the home of our slow fashion label, a collection of heirlooms and found objects, and a growing body of handmade works — from plant-dyed silks and to beaded jewelry and other small offerings.
More than a shop, Atèlette is a place for making, exploring, and sharing the things I care deeply about: thoughtful design, enduring beauty, traditional handwork, and a more intentional way of living.
At its core, Atèlette is an evolving reflection of what I hope to share and impart with others — consciously crafted garments to wear, pieces to keep, use, and return to time and time again.
