clothing, furnishings and furniture
100% handcrafted in new zealand

Thank you for visiting my online shop. Hopefully some of you have met us at various markets in Auckland and are coming to purchase from us again.

I’m a lover of quirky, whimsical, unpretentious yet stylish objects and hope that my clothing, furnishings and furniture reflect those ideals.

I am a stay at home mum and part-time teacher. Amidst the general chaos of everyday home life I love to create, draw, sew, put jigsaw to MDF and bake when I get a free moment. I have made things all my life and blame that trait on my mum and dad who are real DIY-ers. My mother made most of our clothes and had wonderful patterns from Holland and other parts of Europe and my father is a jack-of-all trades – a talent you seldom find these days.

I started off making dresses, skirts and hats for my daughter in response to my lack of excitement at the selection at many kids clothing stores. I’ve always wanted to stand out from the pack and I wanted my daughter to also.

I make a range of dresses, skirts (for mums and daughters), hats, jackets, plushies - (I love the dog!) and clothing and jewellery trees.

Most garments will be one offs and some will be very small runs. But all of them will be unique and stylish and handmade by me.

Enjoy browsing my range and feel free to contact me if you would like a custom item made. Please be patient with me as I'm just beginning to load some of my products on felt.

Keep up with what I’m doing and where I'll be on mimosakids.blogspot.com.

Thank you for supporting handmade in New Zealand
