Mimi and Maggie Kid's Clothing Designers

By Katie Wilber

The options are endless in the world of fashion for little girls. While style and price can be a factor, quality is also very important. One clothing designer that takes all of these things into account is Mimi & Maggie.

The company is based in California; however a quick search on the Internet and you can find retailers throughout the country selling their clothing. They are known for producing very vibrant and playful, yet chic clothing for little girls. While the clothing is very artistic and fun, it also is inspired by cultures of the world.

Who said your little girl couldn't be as rough as the boys and still look good? Although the word "boutique" usually makes one think of stuffy, that is not the case with these clothes. The clothing from Mimi & Maggie is up-to-date and stylish, even for the most hip young girl. The clothing line includes jeans, shirts, sweaters, dresses, and coats. From around the time your baby girl begins to walk she can also strut her stuff in style, with sizes that accommodate girls from 12 months to about 12 years old.

The clothes are designed while keeping two little girls, Mimi & Maggie, in mind. Fun and colorful doesn't mean these clothes aren't casual enough for everyday wear. The clothing is made with fine detail and handmade touches. It's very common to find clothing decorated with beading, embroidery, or lace.

Very often the clothing that little girls love contrasts with what their mothers want to see them in. That's not a problem with the designs churned out by Mimi & Maggie. They design trendy clothing that also takes into account that a little girl should look like a little girl. Mothers and daughters both enjoy Mimi & Maggie fashions.

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.

Different cultures and talents of the world are generally incorporated into their clothing. They search the world looking for new handicrafts to work into their designs. Cultures both past and present are also the inspiration for a lot of their 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. - 15252
