About Us

Mimi & Sky Studio was created following a desire to offer unique, lovely, soft, and safe bedding for babies and small children. It began with a search to find organic and sustainable materials to make a similar organic comforter which was originally found in Paris, for baby Soleil, Sky’s daughter.

No machine washable comforters for babies, made from organic materials, were available in the United States.

About design, Mimi had learned how to monogram from Aunt Germaine, born in Paris, and she was additionally inspired by the work of Edith Mezard, from Provence. Ms. Mezard has an internationally renowned studio (Lumiere) where she makes monogrammed linens for Four Seasons Hotels and Calvin Klein home goods. The charm of French and monogramming seemed to be a natural design combination for baby bedding.

As a new grandmother and mother, Mimi and Sky were concerned about of the chemicals used in the bedding industry for infants and children. Asthma and other conditions have been associated with the use of polyester in children’s bedding and with commercial dyes. Neither wanted to put Soleil down to sleep in chemically-laced blankets. It became the hope of the Mimi & Sky studio to provide lovely, warm, and safe alternatives for families concerned with the quality of their baby’s bedding.

When Mimi & Sky considered the materials for the comforters and baby sleep bags, the following information became representative of the company’s goal and philosophy:

• Conventional cotton accounts for 11% of all pesticides and 25% of the insecticides used worldwide each year, Certified-Organic cotton increases soil fertility and biodiversity, reduces water pollution, and is good for the Earth.
• Les Indiennes appliqués (the Indian prints) are Organic cotton grown and milled in India by a collective in a small town, and the fabrics carefully dyed with wooden blocks and tinted with ancient Aruyvedic dyes made from flowers and plants. The colors are meant to slowly and gently fade over time.
• All of the imported fabrics are Fairly Traded which ensures a safe, healthy, and responsible working environment (and no child or forced labor).
• Organic cotton and bamboo is not finished with formaldehyde and, because there are no harmful chemicals used in its production, Certified-Organic cotton is less likely to trigger allergies.
