About Us

Mimo was founded by Maya & Yan. They met in Brazil at the age of 10 and have been besties ever since! Two decades later, and now living in Brighton, they’ve joined their childhood dreams and merged their brands together in order to create Mimo!! 

Mimo is a trinket-filled treasure trove of colour and joy; a little rainbow oasis of cute things made by lovely people. Mimo stock’s a variety of beautiful gifts made by local artists and small businesses from across the globe. They currently stock 60+ artists! As well as Maya and Yan’s in-house brands Uschie and Mopbox.

Mimo prides itself in being part of the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as being female and trans-owned, with a dedication to championing artists from neurodivergent, queer and other under-represented backgrounds.

You can find Mimo in the heart of the lanes, on Sydney Street, Brighton.
