MìLà is an authentic Chinese food company. While MìLà is a Chinese food brand, it’s really a celebration of the power of food to bring us together, share our stories, and discover new flavors and cultures. Our team works tirelessly to enhance delicious products that we all enjoy at home!
History
You may remember us as Xiao Chi Jie, or XCJ. We opened in 2018 as Xiao Chi Jie, a restaurant in Bellevue, WA, where we shared the amazing ingredients, recipes, and flavors of our Chinese heritage. Since then, we’ve grown, and so has our passion for what we do.
In 2023, XCJ became MìLà. As we evolved, we wanted a new name that felt authentically Chinese but could keep growing with us. MìLà means honey (mi 蜜) and spice (la 辣) in Chinese. We’re the same small team, making the same insanely delicious products, just with a new look.
Mission
MìLàs mission is to build something that feels authentically and uniquely true to our roots as a Chinese American-founded brand. Something we can own, but that’s also meant to be shared. One of the things we love about Chinese food is that it’s traditionally served family-style—shared with everyone gathered at the table. MìLà is a Chinese food brand, but it’s really a celebration of the power of food to bring us together, share our stories, and discover new flavors and cultures.

At Mejuri, were redefining luxury.
Feeling disconnected from the traditional industry narrative, CEO Noura Sakkijha leveraged her learnings as a third-generation jeweller to rethink the way we purchase jewelry—for ourselves. From that founding moment, we’ve been putting a modern spin on a legacy industry through high-quality craftsmanship, timeless design, meaningful stories and an authentic sense of community.
“I founded Mejuri because I saw a jewelry industry that was built for men gifting women and not women celebrating themselves. To me, the truest expression of Mejuri is mutual uplift: all of us supporting each other, and you, our community, feeling empowered to invest in yourself and, in turn, the community around you.”
- Noura Sakkijha, CEO
OUR VISION
A world in which everyone feels inspired to celebrate more than what were told.
To recognize the moments and memories we experience every day that matter most to us.
