the foundation of mile is closely connected to the births of our two children and the beginning of our friendship. with our children around, we recalled our own childhoods and immersed in them. we felt an urge to relive the beauty and joy connected to childhood. the summers at the granny’s, endless questions about the universe, learning to swim or read and absorbing children’s books. we were overwhelmed by the beauty of the children’s world, its endless width and depth. we had a desire to transform it in an elegant and yet playful way into children’s clothes that would be worn by us. our view was that through our clothes the children could learn about the world. the particular graphics and illustrations that we use on our clothes are not only pleasant to the eyes but also develop an imagination – one can be a little spaceman, skier or a tree fairy for a while.
our collections therefore emerge in the areas of life and childhood of our children. each collection has its unique patterns transformed to fabrics and made exclusively for us thanks to cooperation with skilful illustrators and graphic designers. each collection has also our own unique sewing patterns that define the collection, are pleasant to wear and free to discover the world.
we aim to make a pleasant and playful design that will not wear off and will please repeatedly. we fancy clean shapes and simple design that is easy to fall in love with. we enjoy using visible details, gentle free style, so our clothes can be worn with a wit and perspective.
we care about each stage of the manufacturing process and therefore our lovely and small garments designed for kids from ages 0 to 8 and some for lovely adults are made in small and honest tailor workshops in slovakia.
