About Maison Mieko

Maison Mieko par Amit Kumar is a creative collaboration giving new life to what otherwise would have been discarded fabrics. Mieko was born into a shop keeping family in Miyazaki City on the island of Kyushu, Japan. She started as a fashion designer in Tokyo and later moved in New York. She opened her first store in New York’s West Village in 1999. Mieko has always been in love with vintage, recycled fabrics and her special bond with kanthas is inseparable from her identity as a fashion designer. Her passionate creations are comfortable, sophisticated and contemporary. The quest to merge two cultures in her designs started in 2010 when she first travelled to India. Today, the Mieko Mintz label defines luxury kantha clothing and is carried by many upscale stores and prestigious boutiques across the United States and Japan. Today working with clusters of carefully selected hand-artisans throughout India, we have shown tremendous strength in executing hand-crafted works which otherwise had seemed impossible with responsibly sourced materials. The greatest part about our journey is, almost all our artisans are women. Over years of collaborations, Mieko and Amit became increasingly interested in developing a series of home textile products utilizing vintage materials. Our goal is to present an innovative brand at a time when the whole world is running towards a fast fashion oriented lifestyle. This is Maison Mieko, where Vintage comes back to life.Read their story
