Beginning of Mimi up to the present e-shop
Surprisingly, the story of Mimi family does start with the romantic birth of a baby in the family or 30 years of experience of a successful costume designer. In fact, two IT specialists invented the Mimi family.Michal and Tomáš, the Mimi founders, are creating a specialized expert software. They have fun doing it as they have been pursuing programming and web from the time of secondary school attendance. Suddenly, they started to debate how to realize their potential not only as programmers, how to prevent burnout before it comes up. To create something physical they can leave a part of their personality, real skill being impossible in the immaterial programmer code.They discussed all possible as well impossible alternatives starting from opening a coffee-bar, selling spiritless bijouterie, carpet cleaning service to sewing handmade gifts. And exactly handmade dolls won.In the evenings, we two were trying, forming, choosing fabrics, started to enrich our vocabulary by concepts we have not heard of yet. We did not know anything about sewing, embroidering, fabrics; nevertheless we were sure we wished to know it. And so we started buying various fabrics, pattered, lace, simple, elastic, cotton ... Simply everything. Times passed from our first experiment and we achieved a nice prototype in these few months. At present, our colleague Katarína helps us with sewing. So, together, we create our Mimi dolls we literally repose love we have invented and created them with.
