How do you define your brand?
Mimoarte.com is an original, unique and environmentally friendly brand. It is an eco design brand that practices upcycling. Upcycling basically consists of giving a new purpose to materials that would otherwise be discarded, with creativity and quality equal to or even better than that of the original product.
It is a brand made entirely in Portugal, and aimed at people with an active ecological conscience, as almost all articles are made with reused materials. The added value is based on handcrafting, on the exclusive design and shape of our models, but also on the selection to make each piece, thus becoming unique pieces, as no two are alike.
Interconnection with our customers results in the inspiration that drives us to do more and better, to create and design original and unique pieces. The result will make those who receive them happy!
