Made with Love in Canada - ecoKIDS
In an industry dominated by foreign labour and questionable ethics…MADE IN CANADA is something not seen often enough on the label of many fashion products - but mini mioche is changing all that. Each and every piece designed by mini mioche is made with 100% organic cotton, homegrown, ethically and locally produced.
Onesies and tees have super stretch crew lines that are easy to get over baby’s head and lay flat and close to baby’s neck, vs. the typical gaping of a foldover neckline. Mini mioche also prints its labels directly on the garment, so no extra labels are attached to irritate baby’s sensitive skin.
After giving birth to her daughter, Designer Alyssa Kerbel realized how difficult it was to find great stylish, comfortable and affordable fashion for your little one without the harsh environmental implications or the tacky traditional colours. With 8 years in the fashion industry under her belt, Alyssa set out to fill a niche in the marketplace… and mini mioche was born.
We love the fact that each and every piece of mini mioche is shipped in its own re-usable organic drawstring bag – perfect for throwing an extra outfit or baby’s dirty clothing in when on the go!
All their products are super-soft: like your favourite vintage tee- but for your baby! And a fun fact: mini mioche means ‘little one’ in French! And with items this cute…
Your ‘mini mioche’ will be the hippest eco-baby on the block: www.minimioche.com
