Mimi and Maggie Kid's Clothing Designers

By Katie Wilber

There are thousands of options available for little girls who want to be fashionable. Style and price plays a big part in what little girls wear, but quality is also very important. Clothing designer Mimi & Maggie takes all of this into account.

Although the company calls California home, an internet search will render a list of retailers throughout the country selling their clothing. The clothing has a reputation for being very playful and vibrant while remaining chic for little girls. The clothing is artistic and fun while being inspired by cultures from around the world.

There's no reason why little girls can't be rough and tough just like the boys while still looking good. For many, the word "boutique" brings thoughts of stuffy, but that is not the case with these clothes. Mimi & Maggie designs up-to-date and stylish clothing, even for the most hip young girls. Girls can pick from jeans, shirts, sweaters, dresses, and coats. With sizes that accommodate girls from 12 months to about 12 years, by the time a baby girl begins to walk, she can be as hip as her older counterparts

The clothing is designed while keeping two little girls, Mimi & Maggie, in mind. While the clothing is fun and colorful, it's also casual enough for little girls to wear every day. Designed with detailed, handmade touches, the clothes remain feminine. It's not uncommon to find individual pieces of clothing adorned with beading, embroidery, or lace.

Many times mothers don't find the same clothing appealing that their daughters do. That's not a problem with Mimi & Maggie. The company makes trendy clothing that keeps little girls looking like little girls. Mothers and daughters usually fall in love with the fashions of Mimi & Maggie.

The company prides itself in searching the world to find facilities that appreciate and specialize in quality and handwork, rather than farm their designs out to mass production factories.

It's very important to the company to incorporate world cultures and talents into their clothing. They search out handicrafts of the world and work them into their clothing. Influences from world cultures of the past and present also work their way into designs.

Last year's spring collection used an array of designs and colors inspired by ancient Mexican villages. They also borrowed handicrafts from Bali to add the finishing touches.

Culture and tradition play an integral role in the design of Mimi & Maggie clothing. However, according to the company website, Mimi & Maggie get their main inspiration from, "The little girl with the little girl with laughter in her eyes, fire in her spirit, love in her heart, and dance in her feet."

The company prides itself in delivering the best quality clothing for little girls that is stylish, colorful, and worldly, all while also making mothers' glad they shopped at Mimi & Maggie's. - 15438
