Vendor Profile: Mimi & Lala

My mom taught me to sew, and I grew up making things I loved. Now I sew things my little girl loves. It all started with shoes (doesn't it always?) when she was 1 month old. My shoes and boots are made with soft fabrics so as not to bind little feet as they grow and develop. 3 years later, and I still love to create things that make her smile!

Spring Market Vendor Profile: Mimi & Lala

I grew up sewing clothes for my dolls. And in a way, I'm still doing just that. mimi & lala grew from a need for attractive footwear, that had truely soft and flexible soles, for my new little girl. My shoes and boots are all handmade from 100% cotton and eco-felt so as to not bind little feet as they grow and develop. These are the next best thing to bare feet and they are pretty enough to wear with any outfit! As my daughter grew, so did the shoes, incorporating grip soles when she learned to walk, and adding larger sizes. Now that she is talking up a storm, she inspires me to keep creating items she loves - from hair accessories and pretty dresses that compliment her shoes, to taggy blankets to snuggle with at nap time. You can be sure that every mimi & lala item is one of my daughter's favorite things!

Just So is proud to team up with Bonnie Thiessen of Mimi & Lala. Bonnie grew up sewing clothes for her dolls, and later, herself. Now that she has her own real live doll to make clothes for she was surprised to find a lack of attractive quality footwear. Her daughter now rips up the floor in beautiful handcrafted shoes with truly soft soles that allow little feet to develop properly. The next best thing to bare feet, these shoes and boots will complete any outfit.

We are pleased to share these with you, and hope you will enjoy them as much as we have!
