About

Nelle Atelier is a New York-based petite denim brand founded by Madeleine Cohen. Created after Madeleine struggled to find jeans that fit her 5'1"" frame without alterations, the brand designs denim specifically for women under 5'4"". Its collection includes straight, boyfriend, barrel, bootcut, wide-leg and baggy jeans, alongside denim jackets, shorts and matching sets. Each style considers more than inseam length, with adjustments to the rise, knee and hip placement to better suit shorter proportions. Nelle Atelier’s mid-range denim is designed and manufactured in Los Angeles using Italian denim. The brand focuses on creating modern jeans that petite shoppers can wear directly off the rack, without an additional trip to the tailor. International shipping is available through its website.
