Alyssa started mini mioche as a side hustle over a decade ago because she wanted to create what she couldn't find for her newborn daughter at the time: soft, comfy, timeless basics in simple styles and gender-neutral colours. From the outset, Alyssa made the decision that if she was going to do this, she would try to do it in a way that aligned with her own personal values. That meant making everything in a transparent and ethical way and with as little impact to the environment as possible. Fast forward 14 years and it feels like a lot has changed and yet not much has changed. The company and community have grown a lot and Alyssa is grateful every day for the incredible support they've had. True to the original vision, mini mioche still makes the same super soft, gender-neutral, timeless basics locally, ethically and sustainably and in fact, 8 of the 9 styles initially launched a decade ago are still part of our collection and are amongst our top 20 best sellers.
