Mimi & Maggie Designs: Stylish Clothing for Hip Young Girls

By Katie Wilber

Little girls have more choices than ever when it comes to fashion. Style and price are generally a factor, but quality is also very important. Mimi & Maggie take all of that into account when designing their line of clothing.

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.

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 clothes designed by the company are done so while keeping two little girls, Mimi & Maggie, in mind. The clothes are often described as fun and colorful, yet casual enough for everyday wear. It is not uncommon to find detailed, handmade touches on any of the clothes from Mimi & Maggie. Individual pieces of clothing are commonly 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.

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.

A wonderful example of that can be found in last year's Spring collection. The company used an array of designs and colors inspired by ancient Mexican villages, while borrowing handicrafts from Bali.

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. - 16755
