The brand
“Create childcare accessories that have enough character to become decorative accessories”
the concept
Our core business is creation. A French art that we cultivate and from which we draw inspiration. It is our love of the product that today gives birth to new accessories that you wear every day.
The Milinane adventure began with the creation of stroller cushions, play mats, deckchair covers and even swaddling blankets. Over time, we wanted to add other accessories essential to parenting life. We then introduced changing bags, toiletry bags, health book covers... all these pretty things which have now become essentials on your birth lists and in your home.
“Put your ideas, your desires, your style on paper”
Milinane would not exist without these stylish accessories with exclusive prints.
New collections appear every year, without necessarily replacing the old ones, because we still love seeing them at home, and seeing your new ways of combining them with old patterns. Our goal is to create long-lasting collections, which are made to last over time. So we know, fashion changes quickly and trends evolve just as quickly... But to tell you the truth, we sometimes have trouble letting go of certain prints. And apparently you too... Sometimes there is such enthusiasm for a pattern or a product that it quickly runs out of stock. This is simply explained by the fact that we produce in reasonable quantities and that it is not machines that are behind all this, but rather passionate human beings, who do exceptional work.
This reasoned production also allows us to prevent overstocking and avoid waste.
Where does the name Milinane come from?
“Before being a brand, Milinane is a Doudou. My daughter Iris’s cuddly toy: a little donkey offered by Emilie, a friend.”
Emilie + Ane + Iris’ creativity = MILINANE
Our values
We have chosen to work hand in hand with our manufacturer, in order to offer products labeled OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100. A label that guarantees that no harmful products have been used during the manufacturing of our products. We are committed to offering you healthy products for your babies' skin.
We have definitely said goodbye to shipping in plastic packaging. A transition that took place over time to finally use only recyclable packaging. From now on, all your packages are sent in pretty reusable and recyclable cardboard packaging. To further minimize our carbon footprint, all our cardboard packaging comes from a French company.
Because highlighting European know-how was essential. It is in the heart of Portugal that we found this expertise in fabric and mastery of traditions. All manufacturing stages (from weaving to manufacturing) are concentrated in the same region in order to reduce the carbon footprint.
Portugal has unique know-how and strong traditions that we particularly appreciate for the making of our cotton products.
It was obvious for us to choose a material that would be suitable for the sensitive skin of the little ones. We have chosen to favor cotton for these many qualities, but also and above all because it is one of the only textile materials that does not contain any trace of petroleum.
Cotton is a natural fiber with a low allergic potential, which also helps avoid sources of irritation and sensitize their skin.
In addition, being a natural material, cotton has a strong power of breathability and moisture absorption and acts as a natural protection against drying out of babies' skin.
