Our Story
Team
Our team, a confluence of women from different generations and social backgrounds, some still studying, some managing their households and some millennials simply managing their social media accounts. We have found our balance in diversity
When Vanilla Miel began our founders were determined to create equal & safe opportunities for women in a kitchen environment. Eighty percent of our all-female workforce were previously untrained, some from factories that closed down, some who can barely read in English, but all of whom come in with a commitment to learn the technical aspects of French pastry & chocolate. Their dedication and efforts are the substance that fuel the idea that is Vanilla Miel and we are forever grateful for their support. As we grow, we hope to sustainably and responsibly create more opportunities for women from across socio-economic backgrounds to empower them with financial independence.
For two years, the VM kitchen was a nomad, moving from different attics in unused spaces – in 2020, a year where the unlikely happened, we opened the kitchen of our dreams – a space that reflects our brand ethos with it’s glass walls and large windows. It is here that our team creates, celebrates and collaborates.

Some days danced, some dragged, and some moved in quiet monotony—looking back, it feels like a fleeting moment and a lifetime, stitched softly together.
