About

Quality over chance.

Michalina, founder of Selected by M

Hi there!

I'm Michalina, and I've built a space for people who - lost in the endless noise of online shopping - are looking for quality rather than chance. My work rests on one simple but uncompromising criterion: good fabric composition. I believe conscious consumption starts at the label, so every day I teach my community how to tell a worthwhile piece from a polyester throwaway.

My approach to fashion blends passion with hands-on experience. I specialise in selecting clothing, shoes and accessories made from natural, skin-friendly materials - wool, cashmere, real leather, linen and cotton. Years of online shopping have taught me to judge a fabric's quality and likely durability from a single photo, and that has earned the deep trust of the people who follow me.

I'm not an eco-radical - I believe in common sense and small steps, which keeps my recommendations honest and close to the everyday needs of the women who follow me. I know the difference between fine wool and a technical sportswear fabric, and I treat every piece I recommend as if I were inviting it into my own wardrobe.

I bring that same rigorous eye for detail and love of fine materials to the world of interiors. I believe a home, much like a wardrobe, should be a sanctuary built on durability rather than passing trends. In the world of design, I look for furniture and pieces with soul - made from wood, stone, ceramic or natural textiles like linen and organic cotton. I teach how the quality of the materials hidden beneath the upholstery or within a cabinet front shapes our everyday comfort and the beauty of our surroundings for years to come.

Join me in building a more conscious fashion and interiors market - one where price reflects real value and quality.
